Recently my mom had some trouble with her pc, so she gave it to some guy she found in the yellow pages (or maybe it was the classifieds? don't remember) to fix it. He sent her hd to a data recovery service, and I suppose that's good cause I don't know anything about that kind of stuff, but when she got it back after it had been "fixed" and XP had been re-installed (at least a month or two later) there were a number of problems that weren't there before, and that's when she decided to ask me to take a look at it. Now i'm no expert, but it only took me about 3 hours to fix most of the bugs.
One of the things that was wrong was that the guy had installed the wrong drivers for the built-in ac97 sound chip. I uninstalled the drivers and replaced them with the ones I got from the mb manufacturer's website. Although I was able to get the sound working, something must have been left behind because when windows starts it still tries to load the .cpl from the bad drivers and pops up an annoying error message because it can't find it. Anyone have any ideas on what I need to do to fix this one last bug?
