well if you want to know which of your programs are using your sound card. you got to press Ctrl+Alt+del and check the running programs(I assume it is a win98/98SE system). Close all programs one by one and check whether your soundcard works. Donot close explorer, systemtray from the dialogue box. This will reboot your system. Once you find the program which is troubling depending upon what you want to do you can reinstall or uninstall it.

For the sound card, you need to re-install the drivers.

If you cannot identify who made the card,
go to www.driverguide.com
They have a guide to help you identify who made the card, and links to drivers, along with driver installation instructions.

Could you provide more info on the errors?
What program?
Specific error codes?

You need to right-click on "my computer" and go to "properties" and then click the "device manager tab" (assuming win98) and see what type of sound card you have. Then you need to find the correct driver and remove the driver that is currently there and after you do that restart your computer. It then should come up with a add new hardware dialog box then you simply install the correct driver for your sound card!

See if that works ---

BYE!
