the driver on acer's website doesnt' seem to work either

Try this site:Acer Europe - Service & Support, Drivers & Utilities, Downloads, Notebook, Aspire 5030

I am sure you should be downloading the realtek driver?

I know its europe but the global site is down.

Download Unimodem Half Duplex Wave Device 4.11.5.2 - Unimodem Half Duplex Wave Device

This time after the scan is done, click on the IE Page at the top of your IE window
then click on Save As...
You want the .mht format
Save the scan report to your desktop, then attached it to your next reply.

Suggest you do this after you install the drivers that Jelly Bean showed you.
That way we will know what other drivers you need.

If you are short on harddisk space, suggest you download and install this program (it's free) CCleaner ... Alternative Download.
1. After installing...run the program...click on Analyzer...then click on Run Cleaner.
2. On the left side of the window, click on Registry...click on Scan for issues...click on Fix selected issues.

This program will cleanup your temp files and cookies which could give you some more disk space.

I look forward to your new driver scan report.

Good Luck...
