My sound doesn't work!

Dear Sir/Maam
I just reformatted my computer and i have Windows 2000 Proffesional on it.
When i try to play music... it says:
"Windows Media Player cannot play the file because there is a problem with
your sound device. There may not be a sound device installed on your
computer, it may be in use by another program, or it may not be functioning
properly."
I have spent days trying to look for the ideal driver for my sound card but
i do not know how to find it - as i am not sure of my sound card's brand. I
will greatly appreciate it, if you could take some time to write back and
help me through this.
Thankyou.

may help you determine your sound card.
Also your PC manu.site, or the installation cd's supplied with your sys.
