Need computer smarts please:)

[sR->Mumpower]

PLEASE HELP ME AGAIN. I have finally got to where I can access certian sites. However, in doing so I reformatted everything, therefore, losing all information. When I started brand new and fresh, I cannot install CSS, something on the 4th disk gives me an error. So I then proceded to download vent again, and for some reason I couldnt get on vent because I didnt have sounds drivers. However, I checked on my computer and I have drivers installed and they say they are working properly... I wish I could help myself, but I am getting desperite, cannot play CSS, cannot get into vent without typing everything, and cant even begin to try to play music.... PLEASE, any help is welcome...

I get a message that says this when I try to play any sound on vent:

Unable to activate DirectSound for selected device.
DirectSoundCaptureCreate Failed, hr = 88780078

Mum, I'm not sure about Vent (still thinking), but try downloading CSS directly from Steam. You have the account you set up there, so you should be able to download anything you've purchased (even on disk) from them. That's where I downloaded CSS.

*just read your post above.* Can you switch to WAVE settings in Vent? make sure you updated the sound drivers to the latest. Don't let windows do it. Go get them from your computer brand, or audio hardware maker.
