I was attempting to play an mp3 and out of the blue it
tells me that i don't have a sound card. I thought this
might mean to update my driver but when I did that it
told me i didn't have a sound card. I checked and sure
enough its still there, only my computer isn't
recognizing it. This just happened out of the blue, I
didn't take it out for any reason in the last 6 months or
more and I made sure it was in. Any explantions? Thanks.

Brian, if you have a PCI Slot Sound Card try removing and reinstalling
it. You could also rt click MyComputer>select
Properties>Hardware>Device Manager>Sound, Video and Game Controllers.
expand and rt click on all the entries
and choose uninstall. Restart and let WinXP reinstall them.

XP did not automatically reinstall the device things, how
can i get it to do that?
