The PC is being a pain
Thought got nothing to loose so reinstalled XP
I now cant register it as it has been used on another machine,
the licences are only available for extra users if you live in th U.S. as you need a valid Zipcode.

anyway the machine is now working (not sure what will happen in 30 days when the XP expiry arrives)

It is telling ne there is no Audio device, can I download an audio device, or can I configure the original

If you bought it from a shop, then they have sold u pirated software in effect, but XP pro OEM is only around £90 ?
finding a valid zipcode is easy, just find some company in the usa with a mailing address and use theirs
30 days time, u will find no more windows updates and the like
sound - is it a card, like creative or on board sound ?

windows updates is often a good source, don't do the recommended but look for optional software, maybe goto the manufacturer's site for the latest d/l

I've now got the Sound Driver working,
XP was installed by me on another machine a few years ago.
I just cant use it again without a validating it or purchasing a new licence
