Check to see if your drivers need updating. From Desktop:- Right Click My Computer/Properties/Hardware/Device manager. If you have any Yellow ? or ! update them. Hope that helps.

bob's right, your drivers won't have been installed, before you reinstalled XP did you back up your drivers?
If not you will need to install them, your video card will need installing too, as others.

No i actually didnt back the drivers up, in device manager there was a yellow question mark against multimedia audio controller so ive updated that driver, but would that include the sound as there is a drop down menu for sound, video and sound controllers(which dont need updating)
