However i think my audio drivers went out of the window with the format...
my motherboard is SiS 760 and i think there is something wrong with the audio Card on the mother board, well the driver for it anyway, i really need help because i want to hear sounds again:P!

Howdy:

What is the make and model of your system?

Also, have you tried going to the system manufacturers website and getting the drivers from there?

Is your computer an HP, a Dell, Compaq, etc?

Where is the manual or paperwork you received when you bought it. That will tell you?

well my dad said that he got it from a computer faire so ii dont know what it is, the thing is i get an error message saying this when i try to play music:

Windows Media Player cannot play the file because there is a problem with your sound device. There might not be a sound device installed on your computer, it might be in use by another program, or it might not be functioning properly.

shine any light on it?

No.. I need to know what your soundcard is.

Download EVEREST and run it.

Copy and paste both the Motherboard and Audio/sound information here.

One last thing.. Did the XP cd come with the computer or with a different one?

That means the cd is OEM and is nillegal to use on any other system.

The info you need is there but until you get a legal version of XP installed (means you get to go out and buy it), I have to stop support.

Sorry,

Murray
