Hi all, anyone know how to fix this?

A device ID has been used that is out of range for your system. This is to
do with a soundcard. Whenever
a mate tries to play sound this msg appears.

Any info appreciated.

Thanx

Paul;
Install the latest Windows XP driver for that card.

Well thats the prob XP doesnt know
what the soundcard is JJ.

It installed everything else to do with sound
but not the soundcard driver/s itself. The only
way we can do that is to open the case and find
out what the card is. Windowsupdate couldnt
or didnt detect the card and give a driver for it.

Not ALL devices will get a driver listed on WindowsUpdate. You will need to
find the make/model of the sound card and visit the manufacturer's web site
for the correct XP drivers.

Paul;
You should not be depending on Windows Update to identify the card.
Check the documentation.
Better yet, open the case and see exactly what card is in the
computer.
While you are at it, identify all other components and keep the
identification information in a notebook.

Well i'm not relying on the site.

And as I said, since the soundcard isnt listed
in Device Manager, there isnt anything else to do
but to open the case.

I love it! I'm in the USA watching, as it were. You're in New Zealand helping
someone in Sweden. With other people from around the world helping you.
Cool!

Yer thanx Wes.You got it. I'm in NZ!

I'm usually on Mirc (Austnet Server), helping
out ppl who have PC probs. BUT this
is a bit tricky.I havent come across this
error before. I thought it might have something
to do with the drivers, or IRQ/memory address,
as the person, I'm helping said this thing worked
bout 2-3 days ago! BUT suddenly died.

I dont think most ppl know that newsgroups like
this even exist!

Or if they do, they dunno how to get access to them.

And some of them are quite good! And pretty
informative. Thanx to to PCButts for AIDA.

I'll check it out. Altho, it's funny. If XP
doesnt detect the soundcard, if its installed.

The System info in XP, doesnt pick it up
either, and it doesnt appear in Device Manager
BUT the other sound/video codecs etc do,
under Sound/Video and Game Controllers.

Why would AIDA? Its better than nothing!

Cheers!
