No sound (almost)

[HayZee518]

I have a dimension 4600c. It's been pretty good to me. I reformatted the hard drive twice already. I find the biggest problem is that the XP2 service pack for win xp slows everything down. the SP1 worked great until I got all these automatic downloads for xp sp2. had a problem with the audio just like capt bob. used my mb audio for a long time till I re-installed the sound blaster's software now everything works. like you I lost my dad in '98 he was 77. my mom went in april of 2006 she was 82
