I recently upgraded my HP Pavilion 4450 from Windows 98
to XP Professional. I upgraded teh memory from 64 Meg to
256 Meg. The modem/audio card is a Rockwell Riptide.
The CPU is a Celeron 367Mhz.

When I am on-line and play a CD, in Media Player,it
stutters. When I'm offline it is fine.

I had some troube finding an XP modem driver for this
card. And pulled one of the Web.

Any ideas what I can do to fix the problem?

Problem is definitely hardware. Even after upgrading, your computer is still way under powered. I'd go with 512 MB of ram. And a 367 meg processor is just too slow to run multiple applications (i.e. Explorer, Media Player, anti-virus, etc.). That's why you problem ONLY when you're online.
 
Windows XP needs more processor speed that what is
specified, especially with the media player in use and
using the visualizations wich eat up the ram and bog down
the processor, i have my ram up to 364 mb and still
experience some problems
