I loaded windows 2000 and the system doesn't have any sound.I get the
following error when I used media player

------
Cannot play back the audio stream: no audio hardware is available, or the
hardware is not responding. (Error=80040256)
--------

My Device manager(under 'sound vedio and game controls')contains the
following information

----
Audio Codecs
Audio Codecs
Legacy Audio Drivers
Legacy Audio Drivers
Legacy Vedio Capture Devices
Medio Control Devices
Vedio Codecs
-------

I also looked at the OS profile using 'BELARC Advisor' and mutimedia says
'none detected'.

Then Windows is not finding your sound card. If you know what kind it is
try reinstalling the drivers, if not you need to find out whatever way you
can.
