Vista - Installed Vista - LOST SOUND

I installed Vista - I lost all sound.

Is there something I can do to get my sound back? Or is this normal with
Vista?

I've lost the abilty to watch any video web feeds as well.

In summary, I have Vista...I have lost all multimedia capabilities.

So far, regarding my experience with Vista, I am disappointed and
disillusioned..

Did you check your "device manager" (in control panel) for Yellow
marks?
Not all device drivers are available on the DVD. You might need to
download them from MS or the device manufacturers site.

Not all INSTALLED hardware is compatible (in Vista) with OTHER
installed hardware. You might need to disable(BIOS) /remove something
to get that pesky Yellow(!) gone.

I went to the Creative web site...downloaded their Vista driver, and I am
back in the sound game.

Video is back now too...but am unsure as to why it returned...perhaps Vista
found a driver for my video card...???

Also solved last night at 12:15 AM...AutoCAD 2004 installed and
running...slowly my system capabilities are coming online...HP DesignJet
printer support is woefully lacking...I think color printing in general is in
need of development...CutePDF DOES print color PDF files...Acrobat 6.0 DOES
NOT...???
