I recently formatted and re-installed XP PROFESHIONAL... Everything seems fine -- except there's no sound what so ever (only the beep from the internal speaker).

If i go control panel > sounds and audio devices, the volume tab is greyed out and reads "no audio device". I had sound on here an it was all working fine before the re-install.

So err.. Any ideas??
-- I have no idea what so ever my sound card is..
-- I have no infomation or booklets about my PC..

Well we have this old 1999 Gateway Essential 500 computer with a P3 497 MHz that always seems to be at 100% usage. I used a few tools and I guess this is the motherboard

Tabor3 WS440BX (TB3 600 maybe?)

I was wondering if I could see what all it could handle and maybe some place telling it. We don't have the manual anymore and I can't seem to find anything on Gateway's website. It has 512MB which is enough right now btw.

I have been wondering how to benchmark my current set up with the games I have. I am aware of the benchmarking software from FutureMark such as 3DMark06 and such but how do I get benchmarks from the games I own such as Half-Life 2 and Doom 3 and FarCry and others. I see game reviewers do it all of the time. How do they do it, is there something in the game I need to unlock or what?

This probably has an obvious answer to a tech enthusiast, but when I try to play a .avi only the sound plays and not the video. I'm using Ares. Do I need to download something to play this on? Easy 10 points for anyone who knows!

I mean, will people be able to interfere with my PC if it's attached all the time? Please forgive my ignorance. I'm old, and find technology a boundless mystery.

I have been looking around on tigerdirect.com for a new computer. I am pretty much building it from scratch. But at any rate i was looking at graphics cards. I found a cheap directX 10 card and was excited. But i have been reading around and people say you have to have Vista to use it. BUT on tigerdirect at the bottom of the page it says you can use the card with vista, XP, or 2000. So what is the deal? Will it work just not be as good as if i had Vista? Well here is the link to the card

Any info on this would be awsome!
