er mate cant see the pic but it sounds like you do not have the correct driver software installed for you system, when you got it did you have a cd that says something like "system cd" if you do stick that in and install the sound card and graphics card drivers. if you built it your self, find what the drivers are and install them.
or if you already knew this it was a waste of time reading

run windows update - that should detect your graphics and install a driver for it (normally).
as for your sound - pretty much the same.
i doubt very much any sound card NEEDS XP SP2. If anything it might not work with SP2 - especially if its old.
Failing that go to the manufacturers website and see if you can find the drivers you need.

take the side of the machine off, write down whatever the sound card says on the board and google it
