i just had to totally wipe my hard driveand reinstall windows...only problem is my computer says it can't find a soundcard.

HELP!

(note: if i cant get it sorted online i am willing to pay someone to come sort it for me )

I'm guessing here, but if you deleted the entire contents of your computer then you may well have removed the necessary driver for your card.

The card manufacturer's website may be able to help you.

i eventually found the right driver, odd thing is that it was already installed, just didn't work, so i had to reinstall it

I may as well also ask here:

I think my sound's fucked, drivers maybe. I can play MP3s etc through Windows Media yet I can't listen to Myspace choons, Flash animation with sound and I can't even here the wee windows startup song. Any ideas?

myspace... install macromedia flash player 8, will solve all your problems.

nowt to do with the sound card if you can play MP3's, more likely settings or a program interfering.
Start > control panel > sounds and audio devices > Audio, check to make sure that the default device is your sound card. Also check the volume tab, click advanced and check that MIDI and Wave are not muted, if you don't see them, click options > properties and enable them.
