DALE--I downloaded the manual for this computer, and it says something under sound that I think is the soundcard...it said under "Sound information" in the manual, "Sigmatel 9227"...When I did a search, I found some drivers for this Sigmatel 9227 and downloaded them, was instructed to restart...I did, and when the computer was booted back up, there was a message saying, "The procedure entry point LocalizeString could not be located in the dynamic link library STLang.dll" I don't know what that means, but I still think I need the product number to the Creative Labs cd that was given to me with the computer. Is there anyway to get the number without buying it again? Thank you!--ROBERT--
