thanks for the reply rik bean. it was like you suggested, a complete
re-installation. i have the recovery cd's but not too clued up on
drivers etc. i have tried adding hardware but no audio devices are
detected! i'll give the recovery cd's a go

I suspect you may have to end up reverting the machine to factory
state, ie XP Home. Recovery disks often don't give you many
options, and branded notebooks tend to have very specific hardware, not
something you can d/l from a web site like Creative. Good luck.
