Go to start/run and type msconfig it ok and look in the mscong ans autoexec.bat and
remove any check marks that refer to your sound card. You might also check in the
win.lini/widows and see if tere is anything in the load or ruin line. Usually these
types of messages are result of an item not being uninstalled completely.
If that fails..I would recommend that you try a utility called nbgegistry to clean
up your registry. It can be found at this site:http://pandoram.da.ru/download.htm...there
are other utilities available and are probably as god or maybe better. I use this
tool at work and at home..at work everything is networked and at home it is a stand
alone and I have never experienced any problems with this utility..Please (as always)
back up your registry before making any changes...Good luck..
