The Sigma Tel sound chips (on board sound) have been known to have problems with CW products. It's possible you might have to buy an external (USB or Firewire) or PCMCIA sound device in order to get this stuff to work. the onboard sound is not designed for recording work anyway, so if you have the budget and want to increase your quality, consider getting an external device.
Try this: open MC, don't worry about any popups, just click them away. go to OPTIONS>AUDIO>ADVANCED 1/2 down that window, change the DRIVER MODE to MME, click OK. Shut down MC and restart it. Let the wave profiler run again and hopefully it won't tell you that there's a problem, if it does, choose USE ANYWAY.
don't worry about not having MIDI INPUTS/OUTPUTS yet if you don't have your keyboard connected. Once you get your keyboard connected, then choose it at least for inputs - you probably don't want it for output unless you want your MIDI to be sent to the keyboard and not played out of your speakers.
I suggest you then go to the help file and work thru the GETTING STARTED GUIDE and the TUTORIALS. They will be a big help to you.
