Hi all

13yo daughters Acer 5720 laptop wont run Vista, locks up after a few secs, can move mouse but no keyboard or mouse clickability. No recovery disks, and an error on the partition based restore.

Installed Win 8 CP (she loves it), but no audio, the specs indicate Acer 3DSound and Intel HD Audio, the latter is installed in Device Manager and in the audio applet, but no audio. Cannot get driver for Win7 off Acer website as it states that all other drivers will be installed by Win 7. Tried some audio drivers that were there with no result.

Any ideas?  I have another Acer laptop, 5738ZG, I may create recovery disks, but unsure if I can access driver files if its a a one file restore setup.

Tks to all
