Thank you for your quick reply. First, is your system running Windows XP Home Edition, Service Pack 2?
If so, did you follow the Compaq WinXP SP2 update guidelines as outlined on
This Page.To find out about Service Pack 2, right click on "My Computer" and select "Properties". If you have Service Pack 2 installed, it will say so just after reporting "Windows XP Home Edition".
If you have Service Pack 2 and if you did not follow the guidelines for the update, I suggest you uninstall the Service Pack 2 update. Then follow the steps shown before reinstalling Service Pack 2. Here is how:
How to remove SP2.Also, you might try downloading/installing the BIOS update:

If this doesn't solve the problem, please post again. Also, if my memory serves I believe I recall your posting about a graphic display problem. If this is correct and if the problem is not already resolved, I would suggest you install the "Intel Extreme Graphics Driver Update" and the "Realtek AC'97 Audio Driver Update" assuming that both apply to your system.
To find out if your computer has an "Intel Extreme Graphics Driver based card, click Start, Right-click My Computer, select Properties, click the Hardware tab, and then click Device Manager. Look in Display Adapters for the name of the tuner. Look in the "Sound" section for your sound card details. If your system doesn't have these particular cards, don't download the updates.
