Acer Aspire 3000 ZL5

I got a new used laptop but there is no sound at all, the earphone jacks don't work nor the speakers. The mouse pad does not work well either, and, I cannot use my Logitech mouse via. usb port? I'm hoping someone else has this same laptop or one like it and can help me out. I am getting ready to re-install because I though this might solve the problem. I tried installing some drivers for AC97 Sound Controller but that did not work either. The drivers would not install, then I uninstalled AC97 in Add-Remove Programs by accident, I was trying to Update it. Then I installed another AC97 from download.net. After this I tried again to Remove and re-install a newer driver but it would not uninstall or install. Thanks pcpunk

OS installed?

Sorry for the delay IronFly. I have Windows XP 32bit SP-3. Someone on another site is guiding me on how to reinstall in hopes that this would help. I would like to avoid this if possible considering it might not be the answer to fixing it. Thanks for the help, pcpunk

I guess there is no one with this issue here?

I already tried all that, it seems that something else is wrong. I am using the recovery partition right now to see if this will help. The person that I got it from installed XP from a disk he had instead of using the recovery disks that came with it, or the recovery partition on it. Do you think this would cause this condition? Thanks Ironfly
