Hi samuel3.
Desktop or notebook?
Desktop will have a sticker on the lower right hand panel. Model # and\or serial number will be on it.
Newer models will have a 22 character serial starting with a "p". Older models will have a 20 character serial starting with "91".
On a notebook, newer models will have a sticker on the bottom with a 22 character serial starting with "lx".
Older notebooks, serial numbers are the same as older desktops described above.
You can enter the serial number here and drivers are available at the same site.
You may also see the make and model itself in the upper left hand corner of the sticker.

The event viewer may give some more information.

1. Click Start select run
2. Type eventvwr.exe
3. Press enter
4. Search through the groups for errors and warnings.
5. Double click on each error and or warning.
6. Locate the copy to clipboard button, (under the two arrows)
7. Let us know what you find. (paste the results)

Also have you looked in the device manager?

I cannot copy and paste them, is there a program that can find the model, that you need?

Ahaa!!!
So it's not an acer, it's an iQon technologies system, which is out of business.

i have everest home edition and not sure what to look on to see my model number

Open Everest. Make sure you select Everest at the top of the menu. Click Report>Quick Report-All Pages>Plain Text. Post whats listed under [summary] only at the top of the report.
Did you look at device manager for audio device conflicts as nigglesnush85 suggested?

Hope this info gets me the sound drivers :D

Still need sound.

http://www.sis.com/download/agreement.php?id=155808 may help

I get this error when im about to install it



Then when i click ok this comes up and will exit the setup.

Try again and then look in event viewer at the time of the problem.

Ive tryed lots of times.

In that case, open the device manager and look for the sis audio controller then choose to update driver. Tell it you want to search locations manually. Then tell it to look in the driver folder then the winxp folder.

I have updated nearly all the drivers for audio but i didnt tell it to look for the driver folder and winxp folder.
How do i tell it to look in the driver folder and the winxp folder?
