I had xp already set up in my c drive, which was acting funny,?

and found a lot of trojans (which are deleted now) after running an avast antivirus scan. so, i had another xp installed in my f drive. so i have 2 xps in my computer, and i prefer to use the newer one in f drive. however, i'm unable to play sounds in the xp in f drive. when i go through the settings; it says it does not detect any audio hardware?!


but when i use the older xp in drive c, it has the same settings it used to have before, detecting my headphones and i can hear music and play sounds in it.


now the problem is that..i have downloaded a movie from Ares and i want to watch it.


but... if i watch using my newer Xp in drive f:, i cannot hear sounds, but only view the video.


and if i watch in my older xp in drive c:, it is showing some kind of error message in all players (some codec error), and im not able to watch the video but can hear the sound well.


i have tried, winamp, win media player version 9..etc.


what do i do?

I've no doubt your problem is drivers check what your sound card is and download the drivers for it then install them on the side that's not working you can get drivers for may devices here http://members.driverguide.com/ums/index...


they'll want you to register but it's free


Xp does have some driver but it doesn't have them all
Reply:Manually install the audio drivers...Sometimes that's what has to be done in Windows World...That and any codecs that you might want to have to view just about any format of video.
Reply:In the control panel click on Sounds and Audio Devices. Click the Audio tab then in the sound playback box, make sure that your correct sound card is displayed then click ok.





If this doesn't work, right click on my computer, then click on properties, then hardware, the device manager, then sound, video, and game controllers, this will get you into a menu that will allow you to update your sound drivers.
