Dpvsetup.exe missing

Hi,

I had to reinstall WinXp-home due to technical problems. After reinstalling,
I cannot access the voice playback (control panel>sound&voice>voice tab, test
sound etc..), all the options in most of the tabs shaded gray i.e. cannot be
activated! Onboard audi is enabled and is working.

When I try to play any music, sound etc. I get the message - " Cannot not
locate Dpvsetup.exe file, use install/uninstall to load the file"! I looked
up Mcrosoft Knowledgebase - and an acticle advises "to move the hardware
acceleration bar to full" and then adjust the registry. But there is noway I
can access the hardware acceleration as every option is "grayed-out".

Registry to amend..as below: - Article 555574

HKEY_CURRENT_USER\SOFTWARE\
MICROSOFT\DIRECTPLAY\VOICE\AUDIOCONFIG
Expand AUDIOCONFIG to get FullDuplex, HalfDuplex, and MicDetected
..Right-click the FullDuplex value and Modify DWORD Value to 3 in the Value
Data field and click OK. For the HalfDuplex and MicDetected DWORD values,
should be 3 and 2 respectively. Close the Registry Editor and reboot the
system.

[note:-before proceeding one must close or End task Dpvsetup.exe or
DirectPlay ]Voice through the Task Manager.]

In the registry I have the VOICE option but no "AUDIOCONFIG"!


How do I get my palyback sound back ?

Thanks for you reply/s.
