Hi,

Go to device manager and check what is the brand name of the sound card and then go to the manufacturer's website to download the latest XP compatible drivers. If it is an on-board sound chip, go to the mobo manufacturer's website to download the drivers.

The yellow (!) means that the driver is installed, but something is wrong
with it. Can't remember where, off the top of my head, but somwhere in
System or Add/Remove Hardware or somewhere similar, there is the option to
troubleshoot your hardware installation (Sarch the online help for 'hardware
troubleshoot'), you should find it. This might help you work out the
problem.

Also, you could try just re-installing the sound-card drivers from the
original CD (or better still, see if you can download the latest version
from the suppliers web-site)

Good luck,

ChrisM
