He had the new Video Card installed by a friend but now he has no sound at all. Does installing the new video card do something to the sound? Do you have to disable the old card and enable the new? Any help would be great.

Thank you.

I'm not getting any sound from my computer and I really think it is a hardware problem, not software. A few people suggested that I just get a new sound card, but I'm afraid to open my computer and try to install it. I think I might mess something up simply because I've never done that before. Besides, I wouldn't even know which one to buy. So my question is, can I get an external sound card and just hook it up to a USB port? That would be so much easier and harder to mess something else up.

when I installed the installation cd I got a message telling me that I have a new version of XP installed and it can't install from CD. The only thing I can think of it might be is SP2, but I can get that back after reinstalling.. So how do I bypass this message and start over again?

I have a dell computer. It is pretty new. The DVD/CD Drive is not responding when I press the open/close button and when I do get it open it does not read the disk. It doesn't respond at at all. Any suggestions. If I take it to get fixed would that cost more than buying an external drive?
