Hopefully Bookworm can help me on this one.
Like the many other threads my sound isn't working after I formatted windows xp home edition 2002 onto my acer aspire. ( I had this problem the last time I formatted this computer and forgot what file I used.)
I need the driver for my soundcard. I've already tried one driver which was called the realtec AC'97 driver and now I get an explanation mark next to it. (I'm guessing because its the wrong one) and I didn't set a system restore point so I no longer see the other devices drop down menu with multimedia audio controller and the video thing which had question marks and explanation marks. I have tried a few drivers with failed attempts at installing them. I've currently got a driver off the acer website which my computer won't reconise in add hardware so I'm not sure what to do with that one.
Heres my results from belarc:
