ok, so i got a new computer a few months ago and i have the Windows XP disk! and, whenever my comp really screws up or i get a bad virus, instead of bringin it in and paying 70$ i just re-install XP, it deletes everything and yea... then my sound card wont work and ive tried puttin in the intallation disk for my sound card and i click sound blah blah and then once it get to 99% done installling it does that thing where it goes "this program has encountered a problem and needs to close"

Please help!

Download Aida32 here, its free and can tell us more. When you run it look under computer/summary and see what it says in multimedia. http://www.majorgeeks.com/download181.html
