This is usually Default Monitor, mine is a CTX 1451 so I select this from the list. If you don't know the monitor make/model then just choose a SVGA monitor from the list, that normally works. If you do know the make and model try http://members.driverguide.com/index.php for drivers. Another thing is your video card, have you installed drivers for that? As for the sound. Does it attempt to play any wave/midi files or do you get an error message? Is the volume turned up with Volume Control, SNDVOL32.EXE.
