Recently we popped up Device Manager errors on a weird combination of things including:
Under CD Rom Drive:
HL-DT-ST CD-RW GCE-8160B
Under Modems:
SoftV92 Data Fax Modem
Under Network Adaptors:
1394 Net Adaptor
Under Sound, video and game controllers
Creative SBLive! Series (WDM)
Under System devices:
Plug and Play Software Device Enumerator
All sound controls are dead. In Device manage - not able to update drivers or troubleshoot. The machine is about 5 years old - running Windows XP - reinstalled (Complete install - reformated the HD) over ME. We added new Memory 512M about 2 years ago no problems. Only change as of recently a half complete download of a maj jong game from MSN (Cancelled about 1/2 the way through). Any idea where to start (Sorry am more of a software person not real comfortable with the hardware)

Simple dude go back in the device manager and uninstall them and boot the PC again. The computer will put them back for you.

You have more than one question here.
1) Would need specifics on each error message. Just saying you get cd rom or modem errors doesn't help much.
2) as to the sound problem, when you updated the OS did you install the motherboard drivers? If not, that is where I would start.
My suggestion would be to repost over at www.techguy.org. They know their stuff.
