How can i get sound driver for Acer Travelmate 290 series CL51 . I instaled Windows XP on my Acer Travelmate 290 series but no sound, how can i fix, where do i get the sound driver ?

Hello,

The only drivers available for this laptop are for Windows XP.

You can download these drivers directlyu from Acer:
http://us.acer.com/ac/en/US/content/drivers

From this page, choose "Notebook" then choose "TravelMate" then "TravelMate 4050"

You will see that Windows XP is the only operating system selected, and Windows Vista and Windows 7 are not selectable.

The two choices for Windows XP are XP Home Edition( 32 bit) and XP Professional Edition( 32 bit)

The drivers listed here are for:
Intel Chipset
Realtek Audio
ENE Cardbus
SMSC FIR( (Fast InfraRed) A high-speed IrDA protocol with data rates up to 4 Mpbs.)
RealTek LAN
Agere Modem

i have acer travelmate 290 laptop, recently I formated my laptop and I installed windows xp home edition on it, every thing works fine after I installed the operating system with my acer recovery disk, but when i switch on my wireless button it gives blue screen and immediatly restart the laptop. i tried uninstalled and installed the wireless drivers no luck.

Need your help !

if a computer boot up only until the windows xp screen not on windows environment...usually it is because of corrupted system...

your pc will never boot until the logo if there is a problem in your video card,sound card,memory or power supply...

so i suspected that there is a problem in your operating sysyem..try to run system restore if you have...

if not you need to format your operating system so that you can use your laptop again...

note: i have also experienced a problem with boot until the windows logo, but i found out that the problem is not the operating sytem...i found out that my client's capacitors in his motherboard are damaged...maybe due to over use or improper cooling system...if you can check it that's much better so that you can prevent waste of money...

Go to the Acer WEB site to download the LAN drivers you need, make sure it is Windows XP version for your particular MODEL laptop.

After you install the drivers and if the sound problems still occur then list the error messages etc. then will advise further.
