Thanks for trying to help, GMan. As you probably already read in the other email about the error messages, I got a new computer. You would not believe the problems I had trying to install Windows after reformatting. One good thing, now I have plenty of practice with reformatting and at least trying to reinstall Windows! lol Thanks again, Connie ----- Original Message ----- From: "GuitarMan" <PCTech@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> To: <pctechtalk@xxxxxxxxxxxxx> Sent: Monday, July 15, 2002 12:20 AM Subject: -=PCTechTalk=- Re: Sound Card driver problem > > Connie, > Is there more to this device's name (more to its model number)?
