Hi, I have just reformatted my windows XP, from what i gathered all went well, except i have no sound and dxdiag says it is not installed?? i have a generic graphics card running instead of my ati radeon 9800 pro and also the computer seems to be running slower than before which should not be as i have just also added 1GB of Ram. Please help me i do not know what is going on!
Regards,
Charlie

it may seem to run slower if your computer isnt configured correctly. You most likely have to install a bunch of drivers yet for your pc components like sound, video, etc. First go into the device manager and see if there are any excmamation marks next to devices. If there are, you need to install the correct drivers for those devices.
