The Windows XP wireless management facility does not
work.
If you are using an external Wi-Fi adapter (a PC Card, USB
adapter, or other variety), check if the adapter comes with its
own management utility. If it does, the utility may be
disabling the Windows XP wireless management facility, in
which case you must use the adapter's management utility. If
the documentation that accompanies the adapter does not
provide enough information to determine if this is the case,
contact that vendor's support group for further advice.

A dirty drive can also cause audio problems. If you have tried

and double-click Display.
Click on the Settings tab and check the Color Palette. It
should be set to High Color (16-bit).
If it is not set to High Color, change the settings to 16-bit
color and click OK.
