Missing Speaker Driver Giving BSOD on Startup Closed

Question

Hello, 

Earlier today I accidentally disabled my speakers on my Windows 7 laptop, thinking that it would stop my problem of audio playing through both headphones and the speakers at the same time. Now I am assuming that because of the issue I caused with the driver I get a BSOD every time I boot into Windows 7 I get to the "Welcome" screen and instantly get a BSOD. I figure I have to go and install the driver again but I don't know if it is possible given I cannot restart and continue an installation while in safe mode. I do have the latest version of the Windows 8 Dev Preview (what I am using now) also on my hard drive but that has not caused any problems in the past. 

Thanks for any help you can give me!


Configuration: Windows  / Safari 535.7

boot the PC into safemode

Press Windows+R key and type

devmgmt.msc and click ok

Right click on your sound driver-Uninstall

Restart your PC,see if that works.

It did install the driver but there was no effect. When I run the audio troubleshooter I get the error that the audio services are not running but I cannot start them.
