hi Malke,
hope u can help. ive similar problem wit professor B except for the type of
laptop.
mine is NEC VERSA A220 wit wireless internet connection. b4 this i used
window xp service pack 2 & everything was ok but ive just upgraded it to
service pack 3.

however, after upgrading it to service pack 3, my audio output & wireless
connection could not function. ive even tried to update under the device
manager with the caution sign ! for multimedia. but it says there couldnt
find software.

except for LAN dial-up connection only as i'm using now. ive gone thru the
