If theres a constant pulsating noise in the background, does taht mean that i would want to consider getting a new sound card? do sound cards effect how your computer runs programs smoothly or not or have any relation to running computer programs? Some of my games are freezing up and delaying and when they are loading, the sound is uncontrollable. Does this mean i need a new sound card? If it does, then which one should i get or which company manufactures the best?

you definitely have something going on, but it's not necessarily a bad sound card. When's the last time you scanned for spyware? Scanned for viruses? Used MSCONFIG to stop useless programs from loading? Defragged the HDD? Used CCleaner to delete accumulated crap? Updated your drivers? All of the above is considered normal maintenance...

Could've expressed all this the first time around

Answers to posts are usually kept public here - although posting your address like that just might earn you a boatload of spam

If you get people asking the wrong questions, you don't have to worry about the answers

I swear, there oughta be a fence put up around this forum.

You didn't get responses to your original question for some very simple reasons:

1) Your question was so lacking in detail as to be basically meaningless

2) Very likely the wrong forum for what amounts to a hardware question

You don't like the answers you get, try asking *better* questions - and quit snotting off to the grownups - - now g'wan boy, ya bother me

If you get people asking the wrong questions, you don't have to worry about the answers

lol..

hey wacky, click start> programs> accessories> system tools to find most of those programs, as for MSCONFIG, click start> run -then type MSCONFIG and hit enter, go to the startup tab and disable all. unless you know what you're doing (and since u didnt even know the programn existed, then I will assume that you don;t) leave the other tabs in MSCONFIG alone.

P.S. don't ask somebody to email the answer to you, the point of a forum is to help all people, not just you, if the answer is only told to you (via email) then this thread will never help anyone else.
