I recently had to reinstall windows xp sp2(bootleg w/key) due to a virus. I cleared my C drive and did a fresh install. but i didnt reformat my hard drive. we' ll get back to that. once installation started it came across a driver.cab error, i proceeded to install skipping these files. now that installation was complete i no longer have sound, no volume control or mixer devices. audio drivers show working properly but i get a "error streamci.dll message" . In device manager the volume control is grayed out. Ive tried everything known to man. will a stored bought sound card come with the necessary mixer devices that windows xp sp provide? or do i need to just break down and buy a legal copy of windows Xp? I also read that some files may get corrupted due to spyware in plug in play, should i have reformatted my harddrive before I did my installation? please help. no sound, no happy:(
