Patio,
That is one thing that I am just now learning about...Device Manager. I will be checking out that section out in my computer this evening too. I just used my recovery disks, I am not sure about the MBoard drivers specifically. My sound card is the same one I always had, Creative Sound Blaster Audigy 2. I did not put in a new one or add one. I have an hp with factory installed XP home media center so, no system discs for me. I am not sure which edition (2003 or 2005).
Unlovedwarrior,
I will check out your signature suggestions. As I am new to all this, I have a question. How are they different than what I already have in terms of protection? Can I run them along with what I already have installed?
I will keep you all posted about my results. Thank you all for the suggestions.
