Where is my sound and emoticons?

I have a brand new computer, so its not the computer. I had problems with IM earlier this week and removed it from my computer and then reloaded it. I am currently using version 7.0 with Voice. I do not have sound, AT ALL. No IM warning, just the orange box at the bottom of the screen…NOTHING. My emoticons do not work and yes, the box is clicked. I have searched through HELP, with no help. I hate not having any sound. My husband is in Iraq and we use this as a means of communications, and I depend upon the IM Notification to let me know if he is on if I am not in the room. I don’t even get a notice when someone signs on or off. My Connection Pref’s also get messed up. Stating that I have DialUp and that I live in Canada. I have DSL and live in the USA! And sometimes, I cannot change it because the option isnt there. Virus scans have been done and the system is clean, no spyware either. I need help. Please?
