Can you run the scan here and tell us what sound card you have? http://www.d-a-l.com/hardware-scan.html
Sound Card: Property Value Video Card: Property Value DirectX Installation: Property Value Version 6.03.01.0146 see i told u, i have no sound card installed but the installation disk wont install it does that freezing thing....
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 I will be back in a few hours so if anyone else can have a look, jump in.

what is the audio problem; exactly? have you tried updating thru device manager; start/ run/ devmgmt.msc click on audio device; click to update drivers? also in the device manager see if there are more than one audio device; as in card as well as on-board (you may need to shut down the on-board) also check windows update (custom option) there are drivers there if available. also having re-installed XP are you going to re-install SP1 or SP2? there are problems with audio cards & clean installs; here is a thread: sound card clean install also have you tried removing the card & re-installing?
well i have the hardware installed... but not the software my CD does not work for the sound card i have no audio device all i need to do is install the sound card i once found my sound card installation here: www.viaarea.com

Guru Abit Abit your reliable partner VIA-1.41M Users Manual Drivers Acrobat Reader 5.0 ABIT Utility this disk does not work for sound card during 99% of the installation it quits I believe it was Tassie Devil that gave me it, it was Aida32, and then u go to sound then it shows what i have for sound card, then I right clicked it and it says download driver, and i went there it brough me to http://www.viaarena.com/default.aspx?PageID=2
