I have a laptop that comes with a WinXP Pro SP2. But it only gives me a
recovery CD, but not a full OS installation CD. When I last used the
recovery CD, everything was fine except the sound driver. After the
recovery process, my sound quality became very low and my speaker
system doesn't produce any low frequency sound even though I use
equalizer to maximize the low frequency. I thought it was the sound
driver problem, so I tried to update the sound driver but to no avail.
I contacted Acer and they gave me the same solution: to update the
sound driver. My sound driver is Realtek AC'97.
Now I wonder if I can use a non-genuine WinXP Pro SP2 CD to install the
windows and then use my own product key to activate my windows. Will
this make my windows genuine? I can now only think of this solution
after trying a lot of times updating the sound driver. Maybe you can
suggest me how to completely remove the original sound driver and then
reinstall my driver.
Thank you for your help.
