MAJOR problems with explorer (not IE)

[Big Booger]

koinek,
First you should install windows 98 making sure to format your drive first, just put in a windows 98 boot disk, restart your PC, then type format C:
Then once you have it cleanly installed, run all the updates, get the OS set the way you want it.
Then I suggest you to install windows XP, on a second partition or HDD. Do not upgrade or over write the current OS, or Drive. For example: In drive C: you will have windows 98, and in drive D: you will have windows XP. This will create a dual boot system allowing you to have the best of both worlds.
I also suggest to you not to install that audio surgeon or Mp3 surgeon, as it appears to be incompatible with your OS, or your setup. Try to find a substitute program.
Further, I might recommend you to sell your Studio MP 10 card and upgrade to an XP compatible hardware, just to save you some future troubles.

Hope that helps, and welcome to techzonez.

By the way I saw your posting on driverforums, and I too looked for a driver for your Studio MP 10 card, but it would appear that that card is discontinued and will no longer be supported by pinnacle..

Might I ask if you can get it installed in XP at all? Does it show up in the device manager?
Just wondering.
