XP system optimized default settings for sound card, graphics card and other hardware

first. Sound card does not work or sound lag

In Windows 2003, most sound cards can continue to use them in Windows 2000/XP The driver, while the older sound card (such as the Dimension S90, etc.) is only manually installed. After installing the sound card, users often encounter the following two problems:

Third. IE always reminds you of potential security risks

When browsing a web page under Windows 2003, every time you visit a page, IE will remind you of potential security risks and ask if you want to continue accessing. The reason is that the default security level setting for IE in Windows 2003 is too high.
