I know I should post this in the official NF7-S thread but it is checked less frequently then the main motherboards threads and I would love to have this issue solved sometime tonight (or this morning for all you non pacific time zone peoples).

Anyway... I just installed my NF7-S rev 2.0. I have to do a repair install of win XP so it could uninstall the drivers for my old ECS K7S5A. That worked well and after re-upgrading windows (SP1 and lots of other updates) and getting the latest nForce drivers my sound still will not work. I used to have a SBLive Value installed with the old mobo. I did not uninstall this before shutting down the system and replacing the mobo. I did not reinstall the SBLive but something tells me the leftover drivers are whats killing my soundstorm audio. Anyone have any suggestions?

Whenever I start up the computer I get a box that says something like "Audio Drivers cannot initialize, please reinstall audio drivers" After getting this the first time I downloaded the latest nForce drivers and installed them. I still get this box. Any idea how to fix this?
Thanks

P.S. I also have one more small problem... I tried to install the USB 2.0 drivers and it says to right click on the USB device under the device manager and click upgrade drivers. problem is, the only two options it gives me is properties and scan for hardware changes, neither of which shows me anything useful. Anyone know about this?
