Tonight I fixed Roommate’s sputtering laptop. Ever since he went through the two days of BSOD (that icky blue screen that causes reboots and crying), the sound in Windows has been stuttering and annoying. Reinstalling drivers didn’t work.
So I reinstalled XP. You have to boot from the cd, hit setup, wait for it to detect the installation you have, and repair the existing installation. (Don’t fall for the Recovery option - that will give you a command prompt.)
It took a long while but it came back up and the sound is fine. I just had to brutalize it into working.
