I suggest you remove your sound card and any software drivers that you use with the sound card... then upgrade to WinXP and then shutdown and install the sound card manually.

To remove unwanted icons from Control Panel,open the Windows\System folder,the file will be shown with *.cpl extension,select the file right click and click delete

One other option is to Click-Start-Run,type in MSCONFIG,select the Startup tab,remove check from box next to item that you want to delete
