Its always better to do a fresh install of XP as often you have "remnants"
of W98 left over on your HD which can interfere with the upgrade.

That being said, are you sure you upgraded to XP specific drivers and didn't
(by error) up grade your W98 drivers ?

If you have upgraded your BIOS as well, make sure the upgrade did not turn
your on-board sound chip on by default - possible conflict. You'll need to
go into the BIOS to check it out, if the on-board sound is enabled on you
must disable it and then re-boot.

Did that work ?

Cheers,
Jerry
