With what you are giving I am wondering if this is onboard sound versus a separate card.
How old is the computer and did sound work before?
Or, did you just put in a new sound card?
Either way, you are now in the right place for drivers and troubleshooting.
Also, I am not sure what you mean by "when I try to open a sys. or drv. file it does not know what to do" .
Is the file extension (that's the xxxxx.doc or xxxxx.zip thingy) for your download xxxx.exe or xxxx.zip?
More info always helps and we will get to the bottom of this.
It was a hand-me down, I don't really know much about it, I'm no computer wiz. The sound worked before but someone just cleaned it all up and put this darn xp on it. It's a built-in sound card, I guess that means it's not a card. I went to the following site to try to find a driver it http://www.windowsxp-drivers.com/companies/19/222.htm. I'm not sure which one I'm supposed to use. All of them bring me to DriverGuide.com. i logged in, downloaded one of the zip files. Once it was on my computer it gave me 3 files --- an inf. and to sys. files the info one was fine and told me how to download it, the othjer 2 (.sys) nmy computer couldn't open because it didn't know what to open it with. All I want is sound!!
