I have been suffering a 2 week nervous break down from
"The DREADED XP SERVIcE PACK 2" Syndrome
After trying to ugrade to SP2 on my OEM registered copy of XP home
It gives me a key error and shuts down
and boots up to an endless loop of hp splash screen
,windows xp home splash screen and then shutdown
out come my recover disks(sent from HP @ my request)
[which by the way were pretty much just coasters now]
To make a long story short after alot of scramblin to get boot disks and
changin out a cdrw dirve to one from my sons puter just rom
I now have a crisp clean new version of XP Pro
but no audio drivers on the disk anywhere
Checked a million different resourses.and stumbled in HERE
Read all the audio and sound card forums
Picked up a few well suggested apps [everest and belarc]
found out the info i needed to make the daunting task
of finding the right drivers much easier
Sooooo i had to register and post this
You guys have possably saved a life

Thanks alot no longer a mad axe
