Hey everyone,

I just installed XP Pro today, however, I am having some trouble installing my driver for my soundcard (I currently have no sound)

That is what the error looks like.... please help, I need my music!
Thanks

Need more info. What kind of soundcard, m/b? Did you let XP do a search for a suitable driver before pointing it to your installation disk?

 

[steveklebs]

it is a Hercules Gamesurround Fortissimo II ... I did let XP do a search... it said it found new hardware, however could not find the driver to run it

 

[Lonman]

Are the drivers from the manufacturers web site, or from an old installation disk?

 

[steveklebs]

from the manufacturer website

 

[Lonman]

Do you have an installation disk with Win2k, WinME, etc. drivers on it? If you do, you might want to give each of those a shot to see if you can get it working.

Ok, I am actualy getting this error when trying to install any program... so now I need some help with what this error is

 

[Lonman]

Run a Chkdsk and see if you have any disk errors.

My friend has that card and the drivers on the cd did not work...

you'll have to download the XP drivers from their homepage, if you haven't already done that...
