Re: cannot install video card!!

Is it an onboard-video controller? If it is, search the website of the mainboard's manufacturer for drivers. There you should also find drivers for an onboard audio-controller.

If it is an AGP/PCI video card, check the card itself for all sort of labels/numbers/keys written on it, and then use Google.

Re: cannot install video card!!

Like pcschrottie said, find out if you have onboard sound (are the speaker outputs located in a expansion card slot or are they clustered around the PS2/USB/printer ports?). Is your PC a brand name jobbie, and if so what is the model number?

If you have an onboard solution then identifying your motherboard will allow you to pick out the sound card drivers. Something like CPU-Z will pick it out, or Everest which will identify nearly anything.
