    That is the farthest I have gotten trying to install the audio driver. I have all the drivers burned to a DVD, but when I tried installing the audio I got a generic error message when trying to launch the setup.exe. So I though interesting it must be corrupt, so I go to lenovo.com and download the audio driver there. I run the exe, it extracts the files, but once it tries to run I get that error message, or sometimes I get the error that says there is no driver to be installed.

    Any ideas?

    BTW I just put a Crucial M4 SSD in... Beastly!!!

    I downloaded and successfully installed the driver off Realtek's site. Works fine. I'll update later with sound quality impressions. The Lenovo driver sounded like crap IMO.
