Wireless driver is to connect to internet wirelessly via a router.
Is this how you connect to the internet? If so I'd go to HP Support Downloads webpage for your model computer and put that LAN wireless driver on flash stick or CD just in case it isn't supplied by installer - which it should be.

W7 is great for automatic driver download but I think for graphics card drivers (eg.Nvidia) you are best downloading from the manufacturers website. I've been caught before.
Aside: Re- your wireless LAN. Make sure it's secure or you might get people freeloading your internet service.
I would download graphics card drivers & network card drivers before hand.
I'd start with the ones on the HP webpage for your model, but don't use them if the installer and/or Updates provides newer drivers.
Later you can compare these to the device manufacturer's drivers if performance dictates doing so.
I want to thanks you guys again for all your help. I was over worried. Heck who isn't thier first time around? 7 is installed and running. I have a couple of driver issue and have spent 5 hours on this and hoped you could help.
In windows update these are the only two fails.
I ran driver scan and here is the results
As you can see some of them are the same driver broken down.
I have read the other posts about coprocesors and It seems that there are many coprocessors on any one system. So what am I looking for. I googled the number on the driver scan report and get nothing.
If it is your computer, you pretty much should know what hardware is inside it. If not, you should know model numbers and brand so you can look it up on the appropriate website, Dell, HP, etc. I see a lot of people recommend software to find out your hardware, but between materials you were given with the machine when you bought it, or Device Manager, you can see everything you need to see.
When I take someone out to buy a computer, like a family member, I can walk up to it, open Device Manager, and see everything I need to see. If not, then the box should give a list of all the important hardware.
