ok heres the newest update... I took out the old new sound card and basically threw it in the trash and then ran the recovery program (for the second time today) and through that I was able to get into windows. Now i'll admit, scandisk won't work and neither will Norton Antivirus and when I tried to load the control panel the computer crashed big time but my games work so its all good. Basically my computer is patched together now and works *enough*. So I wanna thank you guys for all your help, it was very, well... helpful
