    Can't Get Sound on Vista

    When I installed vista on my new machine, and I try to play a sound file it says the audioses.dll file is missing or corrupt or something. I thought it was my onboard sound drivers so I went out and bought an audigy SE. It's doing the same thing with the audigy installed. Any ideas?

    MSI K9N NEO Woes

    I ordered a new amd 4600+ system with an MSI K9N Neo. Nothing but troubles. I couldn't install vista NOR xp, until I realized the board is picky about my dual channel setup. That took about 4 hours to finally figure out. So I take out a stick of ram for single channel use. Vista...
