To whomever might be able to help me out,

I installed Windows XP Pro w/ SP2 on my rather old ASUS M200N laptop a while ago, and like many others I am having some problems installing the right driver for the soundcard, which is incredibly irritating as I like to work with music production on my laptop.

When I start up Windows it automatically detects the RealTek AC'97 driver, but all my attempts to install that driver has failed. I have no CD. Moreover, downloading the driver from:

http://www.realtek.com.tw/downloads/downlo...etDown=false#AC

...but that doesn't work either. In fact when I try to do so, Windows crashes and my computer reboots.

I have tried installing different drivers manually, but the sound is not good (it kind of gets stuck like a badly scrathed CD), which I believe is due to the poor incompatibility with my hardware.

If you have any clue what driver I should use, and more importantly where I can download it, your help would be much appreciated.

Thank you!

Chris
