Question : Problem: After fresh reinstall of XP, sound is not working and display is chunky/flickering.

I just took a friend's computer and am trying to fix it up for him. I don't know where it came from, where it was bought or basically what's inside it. It's an older computer but it's good for his purposes. The first thing I did was re-format and install a fresh new Windows XP SP2 Professional. After I finished installing, the sound is no longer working. When I go to Control Panel > Sounds and Audio Devices > it says 'No Audio Device'. My speakers are working, I verified with an MP3 player.
On top of that, I noticed that display is incredibly choppy and slow when I scroll web pages, move windows around, minimize or maximize windows. I think it's due to an incorrect video driver. I'm not too sure what's wrong but upon a bit of research, I've seen a lot of people suggest that I run BelArc profiler and post the generated profile, so here it is:
