I assume that you have installed the correct drivers in your system. Does the device manager sees these componenets properly? Can you verify if there is any IRQ conflict?

Hola,

first off (re)install the ChipSet drivers, then install the Audio Drivers (usually found on the CD that came with the Motherboard, if this isn't the case then download either Sandra from SiSoft or Everest Home Edition from lavalys.com to identify the correct Hardware (btw. Everest has direct links to the Hardware Manufacturers websites))...

Then get a hold of XP-AntiSpy v.3.93 to tighten down your System...

about the Modem causing a crash, I can only assume that you need an updated driver for it to be used with SP2...

If it works don't fix it! If it doesn't use a sledgehammer...
