Windows XP Pro SP2 and Hardware Installation
 

I'm getting really annoyed because Windows is being stupid. I bought a sound card (I think it's the Chaintech AV710) and hooked it up, downloaded and installed the drivers. My motherboard has a built in sound card, which is what I used to use for sound. Windows will not stop asking me to install drivers for new hardware. It doesn't make any sense. How do I get Windows to stop asking me to install the hardware every time I boot up?

Did you disable your onboard sound in the BIOS?

Umm... no? How do I do that?

usually you have to hit f1, del or something like that when your computer first starts up. this brings you to BIOS options. usually sound will be located on a option called 'integrated peripherals' or something along the same lines. find your onboard sound and disable it there.
