alright .. I recently formatted this hunk of crap laptop and installed the drivers for all my devices.. however , I'm getting an error with my sound . It's realtek ac97 audio and I get "this device cannot start" (code 10 error) . Now I'm guessing that it might be because I didn't install the chipset drivers. The specs to this POS laptop are :
