Ok I've uninstalled all of the sound programs possible (though for some odd
reason I couldn't uninstall: Audio Codecs, Legacy Audio Drivers, Media
Control, Standard Game Port and Video Codecs.) I did uninstall Unimodem
Half-Duplex Audio Device but for some odd reason when I rebooted the computer
it is automatically already installed back in again.
A couple of days ago I was looking around in the add/remove programs and I
found out that I have Service Pack 2 and 3 installed. Is that ok or can they
corrupt one another?
