Afer reloading Windows XP to fix a problem I have no sound. I think it is a sound card driver problem but when I tried to download Relatek AC97 the PC crashes each time the driver installation tries to change the registry [Adware lets me know this is happening and I tick OK]. Any advice how to fix this please?

... try disabling Adware... for a few minutes so you can install the driver!

... its normal for registry to be written to during install...

Grrrr

Are you sure you have the correct sound driver? Does your motherboard (or sound card) use a Realtek audio chip? If you know the make/model of your motherboard (or sound card), go to the manufacturer's website & download the sound driver.

Problem now resolved!

The motherboard with integral soundcard was an Asus product and I downloaded their suggested driver and now all is OK. Thanks for the help.
