This is a repost from the hardware section.  With the loss of the Device Manager (and who knows what other OS functions) it would appear to be a corrupted Operating System.  My suggestion of an XP Repair still stands. You will probably have to reinstall SP3, but that is only a small issue.  The other option would be a complete reinstall. The Dell Audigy 2ZS sound card drivers, as noted are not on the Dell downloads, however, from past user reports the Creative Audigy 2ZS drivers will work.  But, as there are other Operating System problems, you need to get them corrected first and then tackle the sound, and fixing the OS problems MAY take care of the sound problems.
I'm pulling what's left of my hair out! I have checked on line for three days trying to get a hint on how to retrieve my Device Manager and SoundBlaster Drivers. When I verify SoundBlaster with their system it says its there but no drivers. Also tried to reinstall Device manager using registry ie: ENUM    Plug and Paly I am reluctant to use Reinstallation CD  SP1a, because I'll loose everything Nothing seems to work. Running: Win XP sp3  Dell 4600 Dimension Any advice out there on how to solve this dilemma? Thanks Renie Va Beach
