Porbs installing drivers after fresh install

I just did a fresh install on my 5100 with the media center edition. Everything is good, except that when I go to acer sight for drivers and install my realtek drivers, on the reboot I get an error about a 'system32dll relocation error". And could not get rid of it, so I tried the install again with a format, everything was good until i downloaded these drivers again for the realtek audio and the same error come up again upon reboot. Has anyone come across anything like this before. Any tips or suggestions?

PS. the audio works, but this error keeps coming up on every startup.

 

What you have explained is being caused by a microsoft hotfix there is a patch for it as this problem was experienced by several forum members(myself included) a few months back.

You can read this thread to see the same issue you described.

The microsoft patch to fix it is found here (hotfix KB935448)

Hope this sorts the problem out for you.

 

Thanks. That did the trick.

 

OK, now that that's working well, I tried to install the ATI drivers and now getting this error, something like >>>"the specified path and installation folder contains more than 88 characters. Please change and try reinstall" Something along those lines.

 

To get pass this issue next time extract the driver files to a folder and name it something short like ATI etc or rename the current folder where the drivers are to something short like I suggested and you won't get that silly 88 characters error.

 

ok, that worked. What I tried doing was renaming the compressed folder and that didn't work. But when I made a new folder and named it ATI and extracted to it, worked like a charm. Thx Evo
