    Alligator_69........well lets see......when you followed your friends instructions exactly what did you do .......when you uninstalled the sound card ..........and rebooted ,then went to control panel and clicked on add hardware.......the wizard should have started and then you tell it you have already installed the hardware and a list will be displayed ...and your sound card will be there. Write down the name .....or do this click start/control panel/system/click the hardware tab /device manager /then go down to Sound ,video and game controllers and click on the + sign in front and your sound card should be displayed.    Once you have the name and model of the sound card go to ...........
    driverguide.com and find that card and D/L the latest driver for that card for win xp ......that should do it.
    let us know how you fare .
