i'm assuming the drivers are on a disc..
just install, find the app that it installs (start>allprograms>realtek)
it'll be like Realtek HD Audio Manager or something like that
Right click, copy (the shortcut)
Then go to start>allprograms>startup(right click>open) then ctrl+v the Realtek shortcut in there. Restart. This should make the program start with Windows at boot. If the program is actually deleted after restart, you'll find out.
