1st step , run a virus check from 1 or all of these .

Windows Me/XP uses this feature, which is enabled by default, to restore the files on your computer in case they become damaged. If a virus, worm, or Trojan infects a computer, System Restore may back up the virus, worm, or Trojan on the computer. Windows prevents outside programs, including antivirus programs, from modifying System Restore. Therefore, antivirus programs or tools cannot remove threats in the System Restore folder. As a result, System Restore has the potential of restoring an infected file onto your computer, even after you have cleaned the infected files from all the other locations. Also, a virus scan may detect a threat in the System Restore folder even though you have removed the threat. For instructions on how to turn off System Restore, read your Windows documentation, or one of the following articles: How to turn off or turn on Windows XP System Restore http://service1.symantec.com/SUPPORT/tsgeninfo.nsf/docid/2001111912274039?OpenDocument&src=sec_doc_nam =========================================== Atdmt.txt Tracking Cookie http://www.lavasoftsupport.com/index.php?showtopic=24644 ===================================== W32/MyDoom-B will also create a file named hosts in the Windows folder in an attempt to render the computer unable to contact the following websites: http://www.sophos.com/virusinfo/analyses/w32mydoomb.html spd.atdmt.com atdmt.com click.atdmt.com clicks.atdmt.com How to Remove MyDoom.B worm virus http://www.pchell.com/virus/mydoomb.shtml ========================================

wow thanks for the help all those links weeee :) So if I just install my new sound card the bios will take care of disabling the old one and enabling the new one for me? I have read my motherboard manual and it only has one bios option regarding audio.
