Soo just one problem. The speakers/sound.

Oh she's liking the quickness of the laptop. Noticeably faster without all that bloated junk and going from 250Meg memory to 1.5G. Everybody is a happy camper for now.
Were you using a legit copy of windows? There are some hacked versions out there that have different languages for the hacked parts.

Did you go to the manufacturers website and download the new drivers for the sound card? Delete/uninstall the drivers you have and reboot to let the computer detect new hardware?

I'd say you'd be better off with a fresh install to work out the quirks, but if your partner isn't going to mind?
