    I recently installed this motherboard and everything seems well but i am not having any sound, in control panel it says there might not be a sound device installed, i thought that windows xp could detect the driver for it if it detected the motherboard or am i wrong? do i need to download a driver for it? or am i missing something to this? im not using a sound card im using the integrated sound in the motherbaord. Another thing i saw when i installed the motherbaord was that the computer hangs on "windows is starting up" for about 1 minute and then everythings ok, is this somethin wrong in the registry? or do i need to format my hardive and start from scratch? any help would be greatly apreciated thanx

    check in device manager to see if there is unknown devices or exclamation marks there.
