Just installed windows xp after major virus on my computer I have a

then up grading. Windows sees that I have a c-media sound card but
when I try and install it I keep getting unable to install code 10 and
it won't let be do anything more to my sound card does anyone have any
ideas that will help.

It is unclear to me whether your eMachine originally had Win98 installed
and you did an upgrade or if your eMachine came with XP preinstalled
and who knows why you installed the way you did. In any case, you'll
need to go to eMachines' website to get drivers for the hardware. If
you never had XP on this box and eMachines doesn't have a driver
available for the hardware for XP, you're out of luck. Replace the
C-Media card with a new sound card that will have drivers for XP.
C-Media cards are very inexpensive and you can replace one for under
$20usd.
