Stupid Computer
All right. I just got this computer yesterday and my grandfather used to use it at his work, so it's older, but probably not by more than 2 years. It has windows xp, but i have no idea what kind (like dell...but it isn't that) it is.
The problem is, the sound doesn't work and the disk drive won't work either. We called my grandfather, he said the sound worked. We even tried different speakers. I checked the computer's settings, and there's nothing muted, nor is there anything disabled. Can anyone help me with the sound possibly?
Also, the disk drive (as i mentioned), doesn't work. I can open it and put a disk in it, but when I try to open the disk drive icon, it says "please insert a disk". Does anyone know what could be causing this?
Thanks in advance!

What you need to do is call the company of the computer to fix this problem if the charge a lot look for other places like Computer World or technician near your area or ask someone if they know.I hope you get your computer fixed I got my computer fixed with a friend of my cousin who fixes technology.

You probably need a new sound card, and a new disk drive. You cant find that at a local computer store or best buy. =)

You may have the speakers plugged in at the wrong spot or your sound card may be damaged. Try plugging the speakers into a different spot and test your sound card. Make sure to check that the drivers for the sound card are up to date as this can sometimes cause problems.
It's possible that the disk you're using is corrupted so the computer is not recognizing it. Your disk drive may also be bad or corrupted. Check the drivers for the drive to make sure they're up to date.
