    XP bugs after formating

    I recently formatted my computer and ended up with a few bugs. I have no sound when I try to plan an mp3 file with winamp i get an error msg saying: "Bad DirectSound driver. Please install proper drivers or select another device in configuration. Error Code: 88780078". My screen starts to lag when I scroll down on IE (it makes a flip book effect). I also lag when I hover a window around the screen. I never had these prolems before formating. Can someone help?

    um. how do I check the model number? I don't know what make it is, im sure it isn't Dell. I just told the guy at a local store what I wanted and he pretty much took over from there. =| sry.

    or ask the bloke at the shop who built it, he may know what drivers you need
