My computer won't play sound, I think I deleted something important.?

Question

My computer is a Toshiba 2300. I'm not sure what I did but one thing I know is that the touchpad (when pressed) is supposed to let you adjust the volume. When I press it, it shows me the volume is down to the minimum but I can't raise it (by scrolling up on the pad). I was trying to make my laptop run faster by freeing up some space on it and delete some unused files. I went through control panel and deleted a lot of the "rarely used" programs but I think something was in there that I shouldn't have taken out. Could anyone tell me what that file may be, how to get it back, or am I just doomed? Any and all help with this would be greatly appreciated.

Click on System

Click on Hardware

Click on Device Manager

Click on the + by Sound,video,game Contollers

*IF* you see any Yellow & Black ! point or Red X  UNINSTALL them

Note: Even IF you don't see the above mentioned ! or X, just UNINSTALL the sound card drivers anyway, then do the Shutdown

Shutdown your computer, NOT RESTART

Wait at least 2 minutes then restart computer

Windows SHOULD find and REinstall  the drivers
