Go to Device Manager and see what sound hardware is listed under the
Sound, Video & Game Controllers section.
If the soundcard entry is not there, it will have to be reinstalled from CD.
If the soundcard has a conflict, it's usually easier to remove it's
entries (right-click/uninstall) from the list, reboot, and reinstall
from CD.
