Hi,
I was given an Acer Aspire L100 (one of those micro small pc's) which wasn't working - had no boot-up or repair cd's - so i wiped it and installed XP instead of vista, which was on there before..
Trouble is now, cos is was meant to be vista on there, my onboard realtek ac'97 sound won't work, due to no drivers, and also my network slot in the motherboard won't work either..
Is this just due to the wrong OS?
Are there any available drivers for XP for those components? I've tried looking online, epsecially the Acer site itself, but they only have drivers for Vista..
Cheers,
Paul
