C797VU not working properly on Win XP SP2

If your disk is a volume licence key install disk, then a retail key will not work and vice versa even if the key is valid. There were many versions of XP Pro. Go back to the place you bought the PC and ask if they have a VLK version. Your refurb is probably an off lease pc

XP is no longer supported by MSoft and you should upgrade to Win 7 at the very least.
There is little out there for virus protection or malware
Unless this is an offline machine for a legacy scanner or other device.

Hello,

trust me, the fault is from the win xp SP2. I am saying this with confidence and out of experience. Except if the audio drivers you downloaded is for win vista.

While running the Win xp, some files make have skipped/not installed which is making the sound not to work. Or maybe you have initially installed a wrong audio driver.

To solve this problem. you have to re-run the win xp, if possible, use another xp Cd, maybe not Sp2.

After installation, let the audio driver be the fist thing you install.

Take care.
