Thanks snowmonkey. I really appreicate your quick response.

Thanks to your help I've managed to sort out the problem with my sound card, however I haven't managed to sort out the problem with the monitor display.

I tried installing all the drivers that you told me too but had problems with a couple of them.

When installing the "Intel 845/865 G/GL/GE/GV VGA Drivers" the wizard presented me with a list of possible Device Drivers to install. I chose "Intel (R) 82845G/GL/GE/PE/GV Graphics Controller" as it seemed the most suitable option based on the "845G" part of the code. After the installation was complete I then had a "Display Adapter" icon visible in the Device Manager however the "Intel (R) 82845G/GL/GE/PE/GV Graphics Controller" icon listed below it had an exclamation mark next to it.

I also had a problem installing the AMD driver. I chose the "Windows 2000 Display Driver build 5.13.01.3279" for RAGE 128 / 128 PRO but it wouldn't install. Even after installing the latest version of DirectX9 (which this driver requires) it still wouldn't install and said "Display driver not compatible with the display adapter installed in your system". Presumably this is referring to the driver I mentioned previously.

Do you have any ideas why these drivers still aren't working even though they are the ones on the MSI site? Any futher help would be really appreciated.

Cheers
