Trouble with soundcard

My soundcard wont install. I booted win98 and it didnt work (It did yesterday). I tried to reinstall but i get an error code (69)...Do i need a total reinstall of win?
Soundcard type is a Aureal Vortex integrated on the motherboard.

tried removing all trace of the soundcard in device manger, also remove any reference to "aureal" in the registry and then reboot.

this should get windows to find the soundcard again.


------------------
The person who said it can't be done should not interrupt the person doing it

Dell Insprion 4000
PIII 700
320MB RAM
8MB ATI Rage 128 Mobility
20GB IBM DJSA 220 HDD
Windows XP Pro

Do all that, and when rebooting, go into the BIOS and disable it. Then reboot into Win, Look to see if it shows up in the device manager. It shouldn't. Then reboot and enable it in the BIOS. I had to do this on a mobo once to get it to work.

------------------
I am laughing at the world

error code 69 = disabled from hardware

re-enable it from bios like mentioned
