Hi Bookworm,
thank you so much for your reply. I followed your instructions and in the control panel under sounds and audio devices it still says "no audio device". In the device manager there are no longer errors in the sounds category, so that is at least a step in the right direction. I do, however, have exclamation marks showing on: "other devices > PCI device and video controller". Would this have any bearing?? Shall I run another Belarc to show what has changed??
Thanks again, you are a tremendous help.

p.s. ok, after restart I get an error that says "This system does not support the drive you are attempting to install"
grrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr..........I know we are so close, thanks for helping!!
