Please help with sound problem on XP :)

Hi Guys,

I know im new to this forum but please help

I have just got my self a new laptop from dell... a Inspiron 1720...

It came within Windows Vista that i just cannot get on with so i formated the HD and installed windows XP...

Its took me 2 days so far to get the drivers for it and all was working well untill this afternoon...

I installed the drivers for the Network Card, Modem, Webcam, and managed to get the "USB Root Hub" bits to show up without a yellow mark next to em...

Anyway Since doing this I now dont have any sound... Well not within windows after logging in anyway.

When the computer starts up I get the standard windows "chimes" and then the sounds cuts out... if i reinstall the drivers it works for one "beep" (the sound of the warning box thinggy saying that it is installed ok) then it stops again...

I have now disabled the Network crad, Modem, webcam and some other bits but it still kills the sound...

Does anybody here have any idea how i can find out what is wrong?

Many thanks

Kirk
