so I reformatted with a version of xp after viruses attacked my computer... and now i have no sound. so i found the realtek driver.. deleted the malfunctioning driver.. tried to install the realtek driver & right before the finish of the installation it would just give me a blue screen with a portcls.sys error.
so I did the belarc report. this is what I got.
