I recently upgraded my laptop hard drive and instead of putting Vista back on, I decided to use XP. (I already tested it was working with the XP drivers for my laptop). But now when my laptop starts up and the log on screen is away, I get a box coming up saying "EAccessViolation" with an "OK" button to click. The heading in the box says "Realtek HD Audio Manager". So I assumed it was a driver problem as one of the drivers was a "realtek" one, so I tried re-installing the driver but it still happens.
I've tried googling the problem and one suggestions was a complete re-install of XP!! I really don't wanna do that though. Anyone got any ideas what could be causing this and how it can fix it?
Thanks.

It might be a problem with the program when it runs at startup. Disable it by going to Start > Run.
Type msconfig and press Enter.
Click the startup tab and look for the Realtek entry.
Remove the tick and click OK. Reboot when prompted.

 OK OK I can't go any faster! aaaaaaaaaaaagh!

Hi, thanks for the reply, there was nothing in that list that said Realtek, well nothing obvious anyway.

Is the Realtek mixer installed and is the speaker icon showing in the taskbar window.

I'm not sure what the mixer is?
When I installed XP on my old hard drive, there was a red speaker in the system tray as well as the normal silver one, but the red one hasn't been there since I installed it on this hard drive. I do have the silver one though.

Ok with silver speaker icon.
Perhaps you need the red one as well for it to work.
Any way do what Richard wrote and stop realtek from loading and when the computer has booted up ok remark it again.
I take it when you installed XP onto the HDD your having the problem with, you did install the MoBo drivers as well.

My laptop came with Vista Home Premium on it, when I bought my new hard drive, I decided I wanted XP. So I went to the Acer website and downloaded every XP 32bit driver for my laptop model, before using the new hard drive, I tested it on the old one and all was fine. So as far as I'm aware, I've installed all the drivers I need. Maybe I'll try un-install the driver then re-install, if you can un-install drivers?
Can't disable it in startup because I don't see anything that says realtek in the startup list.
Thanks for the help

G'day shoneypops.
Start/Programs/Realtek Sound Manager
Is it there, if not, it is not installed or not installed properly.
Also Device Manager/Sound, video & games controllers.
Is Realtek listed?.
