Windows ME, Compaq presario 5000, soundmax driver from compaq driver site. (integrated sound card)
Not sure if it's the card or software/driver problem, or perhaps media player? When I open up Media player to play video, it freezes and I notice a program, <unknown> when I control alt delete. after I close the unknown program, media player unfreezes, but still no sound.
Also, when I try to update driver or reinstall from device manager, it says found not found when trying to copy files from the specified location (which is the correct location, but cannot find several missing files). Is there some kind of generic driver I can use, or maybe something is wrong with media player?
Thanks for any help you guys can give!
