Go to Compaqs web site and download the Win7 driver for your sound firmware and install it. Ensure you specify either 32 or 64bit. Check your OS for the specification.
Hope that solves your problem.

Alright..Not a big problem..Generally happens due to some files corrupting. Put your Windows CD in the drive, boot form the Disc and choose to repair the operating system. The problem will be solved.

Thank you!

Hi,
If you want to get it legally, then go to a store and get it.
If you want to get it illegally, then download some torrent file and burn it in a CD. make it a bootable CD. but you cannot be assured that you will get the product key in all the torrents. try various torrents and get the right one.

Along with the PC comes a restore CD,start the PC with this disc and follow the instructions to complete the setup with the help of the Original OS CD. Put in the keys and activate it over the net or microsoft toll free telephone no........sodeep

You mean the setup doesn't load? Also when installing Windows, the first part it copies data to the just formatted harddrive. Then it reboots, but make sure it doesn't reboot from CD because then it wil start all over again. It must boot from harddrive after it copied files to your drive.

The setup data is located on you HDD from that moment on.

Or isn't this what you mean?
