Try this:
Uninstall all drivers, and files associated with the sound card. Then go into the device manager, and uninstall the card itself. Turn off the machine. Open the box, reseat the card, then turn the machine back on. Then try installing the new drivers.
Remember, when you reboot, make sure your mdem is off or disconnected. XP likes to pick up old drivers from windows update for new hardware. Everytime I uninstall my vid drivers, and reboot, if I don't disconnect from the net, XP will install some old driver it got off of update.
If this don't work, there is always the reformat option.
