enable the audio in the BIOS - let XP load - then install audio

check this

Plug & Play checking Device Manager

Right click My Computer / Properties / Hardware tab / Device Manager / expand System Devices / is the Plug and Play Software Device Enumerator listed

sorry I'm out of ideas, if you have an XP disc try this

Try a System File Check go to Run – type “sfc /scannow” (without the quotes and note space after sfc) have Win disc available in case sfc needs to replace or repair any files. The program runs with no alerts and then closes.
