Oddities following XP Pro reinstall

[Guest]

I just reinstalled XP Pro, along with SP2 and am now experiencing the
following oddities:
- screen rendering is very slow, any scrolling appears as if the computer is
struggling to render the page. NOTE: the blue user login screen upon bootup
also renders very slow and jerky versus a smooth fade in. Is this a driver
issue?
- what i remember to be default XP sounds such as the alert beep are not the
same now...they are shrill windows 3.1 esque types of noises

Do these symptoms sound like I did something wrong during the reinstall?
Thanks in advance for any troubleshooting advise you may have.

Have you loaded the motherboard/video/audio drivers?

Hello,

It seems that you have not installed the appropriate drivers for your sound and graphics cards.
Download the latest drivers from the manufacturer's website and follow the instructions to install
them.

Did you reformat the hard disk before reinstalling? And, have you downloaded
the latest drivers for your sound & video, from the web sites of their
respective manufacturers?
