I have somehow stupidly deleted my audio DRIVER and I can not reinstall it.


I have an Acer Aspire One AOA150 with windows xp home edition
And my driver is RealTek High Definition Audio driver 5.10.0.5628

When I went to device manager there was a Yellow EXCLAMATION mark on Audio device on HD audio bus. Device STATUS said "the driver for this status is not installed (code 28)'
I clicked reinstall but said I needed a CD. This laptop does not take Cd's, its a tiny little 10" thing.
I also tried to rollback Drive, but no driver was ever backed up.
This computer was given to me so I do not have any info that may have come with it.

I went to the Acer site and tried to download the driver from there but it would not run.
I finally found a site to download it from and and once I was installing it a message came up
'Install RealTek HD Audio Driver Failure!! [ERROR code: -0001]'

It TELLS me that no sound card is found.
Oh, but when I go to my programs I still have this: RealTek GbE &FE Ethernet PCI-E NIC Driver.

Could this be why it wont install the driver again?
If you know some way to get my audio back, please help.
RealTek GbE &FE Ethernet PCI-E NIC is your ethernet card driver, and it has nothing to do with sound.
