Thanks, John.. We did that on the Modem and it worked fine. We happened to have the drivers on a CD. Will have her run Aida32 and see if we can find drivers for the sound card just in case before we start working on the sound card. I was hoping that procedure would also work for the sound card on Windows 98.. I forgot about the SFC on Windows 98 too. Thanks for your input..
