lol how long ago was this?

would just like you all to know i finally got sound back on me computer!!
no matter where i went or what i downloaded nothing worked,tried everything posted on here and unless i was doing something wrong(probable) or guess maybe cos the laptop is to old or something, anyway i went to acers website again tonite, and downloaded the netbook audio, after repeatedly telling me it was an unsafe download, and i had to click continue anyway 7 times!!
it finally installed and promptly deafened me as long unused speakers burst into life!
up till now been using the skype handset to listen to everything which is not the best way of doing it!!
however soon as i can get the time im off to me mate,s up the road where he has said he will do a complete reformat? what ever that means!! which i am assured it will sort out most of the problems!!
thanks fpor all the hints and suggestions guys!!

sorry im just not computer literate enough to carry them out!!
