Hi & help! We have finally managed to connect our win7 PC to our Sony Bravia tv with hdmi, but now we can either get sound on the tv or sound through the PC ( we use headphones rather than speakers) please please can anyone help us set it up so we get sound on both- just about to lose the will to live! This surely should be easy but it is just bloody frustrating! Took us ages to even get the PC onto the tv....aargh! Our sound card is nvida. Thanks

hi again, after many weeks of effort have managed to get clean install of xp, drivers for almost everything- wifi,video codecs etc but now cant get sound to work- aaaaaaaargh! can anyone help me again please?? Cant seem to find what i need on the acer support page - or maybe im not ooking in the right pace. thanks

Hi thanks again, Havent sat down & had a good go yet - work has got in the way of my life as usual!!!but my next run of days off i will be trying everything suggested.

Thanks very much - i havent tried the acer recovery sites will get stuck into a mega attempt when i have time The xp disc i have is a genuine one that we bought. Thanks again - maybe i CAN do this without a visit to pc world( with your help!!)

Hi & thank you, - the ehow guide was very good but im not sure what you mean by checking the CD drive is the first boot drive in the bios means ( sorry im sure this makes you wonder what on earth i was doing in the 1st place!!! - i had installed xp on my old laptop with no dramas in the past) Can you explain a bit more? Also do i need to delete the other partitions i seem to have created on the harddrive or will this happen once i follow the ehow guide. thanks again

Hi my sisters laptop was a bit glitchy so in my wisdom i thought id try to help and install a completely new XP home version. It is an acer aspire, i seem to have ended up after all my fiddling with the acer instal still there and 2 XP home versions on the hardrive. When you turn the computer on you are asked to choose which version to use ie: XP home, XP home or Xp media centre ( i presume is the original installation on the pc) when i try to use the original version i get an error message " windows couldnt start because file is missing or corrupt: <windowsroot>\system32\hal.dll". When i look at My Computer on the pc i can see C: ACER, D:ACERDATA and then the new XP installation. If when booting up i use one of the new XP instals ( that ive obviously done) no modem whatsoever is detected. How can I get rid of my botched new instals of XP and return this computer to how it was before. The way it is now the whole computer harddrive is full of my new installations & i cant get the original to run ( the error message ive detailed above) And also can t find a modem or get it to connect to wifi.When i installed the new XP ( 2 attempts) on one of them i think i created a new partition or something...........Please help in simple terms, I think i fiddled way beyond my knowledge( stupid i know) id like to try & get my lond suffering sisters computer back to what it was- ie: worked if a bit glitchy but with internet/wifi easily conecatable and a harddrive that doesnt have multiple operating choices with all the discs practiaclly full. Thanks
