Tell me if that works. You are using onboard sound right?

I removed the side and the sound is built in to the board so i guess that is onboard right ?
Well I will probably half to reformat because after windows installed service pack 3 windows will not open back up for me.
Do I really need to install all these updates and service packs from windows ? Seems the machine slows down more and more when it takes on updates from windows.
Well the computer will be used by teenagers just surfing the web so I'm not sure if security fixes, optimizations and that will be needed.
The disc I'm installing from is XP home edition bought from store.

The reason you have no sound is like the above has posted, if have onboard sound and you reformat there will be no sound as you need to install the drivers of your sound card which will probably be the same as mine which is AC97, you could have got it from windows update but as your having trouble with that I suggest looking it up on goggle or try the above link, do you have a Motherboard Disc as it will be on that.
