thanx for replyin and i guess i'm not sure what to tell you about my machine. i guess maybe if you ask me questions and how i should get about gettin the answers would help. i guess i don't have the Creative Labs Sound Card but then again i can't say i'm sure (how could i find out?)
sorry for not bein helpful enough and maybe i don't know as much as i thought about computers!
There is a couple of ways to find out what sound card you have. I would suggest Rt click "My Computer">properties>"Hardware" tab at the top>"Device Manager" middle right>scroll down to "Sound, video and game controllers" and click the "+". We're looking for "Creative Labs" or "Sound Blaster", it may give something different like "Santa Cruz". Any of these will probably be followed by (tm). Also check if any devices have a yellow (!) they will be evident when you open device manager.
I brought up the sound card because it was the only thing I found that caused your error message when opening different programs. The KB article points to a driver problem with the Creative Labs sound card. If it was only one item I would look elsewhere.

AsianLondoner,
More information about your system would be helpful. Do you have a Creative Labs Sound Card in your 8200? I found this from MicroSoft.
