Have you tried putting a music cd in and seeing if that gives sound? sounds like your sound server is not dropping control after the intro music. I think is it somethign like that, I can play music cd's just fine. It is looking like suse doesn;t come wiht the ability to play any media formats, strange, but even workse is the huge list of crap I am having to go through to get it to play my anime and movies. I am about to pull my hair out over frustration, I have been using linux since 97 off and on, mostly as servers. And I keep trying to switch to it as a desktop, but each tiem I hit walls of imposible frustration. what I call dependancy hell, there has to be an easier way, just look at whta I need rts not available db1 not available libartsc.so.0 not available libdvdnav not available libdvdnav.so.4 not available libmpeg2 not available libmpeg2.so.0 not available libwx_baseu-2.6.so.0 not available libwx_baseu_net-2.6.so.0 not available libwx_baseu_xml-2.6.so.0 not available libwx_gtk2u_adv-2.6.so.0 not available libwx_gtk2u_core-2.6.so.0 not available libwx_gtk2u_html-2.6.so.0 not available libwx_gtk2u_qa-2.6.so.0 not available libwx_gtk2u_xrc-2.6.so.0 not available libxosd.so.2 not available vlc 0.8.4a-1.pm.7 conflict Unresolved Requirements: vlc requires arts vlc requires wxGTK >= 2.4.2- vlc requires db1 >= 1.85- vlc requires libdvdnav >= 0.1.10- vlc requires libmpeg2 >= 0.4.0b- vlc requires libartsc.so.0 vlc requires libdvdnav.so.4 vlc requires libmpeg2.so.0 9 more...

Hmm. Never seen a "(hd0,0)+1" specification before. Is that the same as (hd0,1), or does it mean find hd0,0 in device.map and then go down 1 (not likely, but I've never seen that type spec before)?
Thats Ok its the section for dual boot here is my Grub menu.lst

True its SuSE 10 but thats not relevant. Are you sure Windows C: is /dev/sda1 ? What does system ---> Monitor---> storage devices say?
Where is Windows C: supposedly mounted? try accessing it from there, its possibly /windows/C in your favourite file manager. Sometimes if you try and access it from /media it will fail as it might not actually be mounted.
Have a look at system--> control centre (yast)--> system--> partitioner Say yes to the warning if sda1 is there (and that is Windows) check its mount point and permissions.
