Hey...
I've upgraded from OfficeXP to Office2007 and am only "SLIGHTLY" enjoying
the experience....I've had many many issues with formatting etc etc....

But the most recent item I now see, is that my computer's sound card, a
SoundMAX card, will no longer load at all. It's not even present in the
normal dropdown in Start ControlPanel Sounds & Audio Devices Audio for
me to even enable etc? When I try the Sounds tab, and then try to play say
Asterisk -- the PLAY button never lights up for me to test things
either....sigh

When I click on my XP little tray icon, I now get an alert that says that
"Digital output is taken by another application..."

When I try to play an mp3, I get WindowsMediaPlayer opening and then saying
" can not play the file becuase there is a problem with your sound device..."

??? WTF?

Can some offer here a bit of help? And yes, I've updated the drivers for the
card, restarted like 20 times and have tried everything I know to get the
dang card to play sound. And it wont!

What is now wrong?

This is not likely an Outlook problem. Have Windows redetect your devices.
