i have recently upgraded to win 7 but although i have soundmax intergrated audio drivers running a cannot get any sound. i had a message saying that the audio system was not running so activated this in system devices can anyone give me any ideas what to try?
this is fixed......
i picked up the soundmax xp drivers from HP and during the install it prompted to uninstall the standard driver and reboot. once it booted back up the program continued to run, completeed, rebooted again and hey presto sound
I am having trouble getting a Win7 Ultimate DVD to even start correctly on a DC7100.
OP, did you have to update BIOS or load Win7 -friendly chipset drivers to get the install going? did you install from a DVD?
thx

i know this thread is a few months old. but i read the question about having problems booting from the 7 dvd on the dc 7100. i solved the problem (well sort of). it says attempting to boot from disk and then eventually just loads up your current OS. well i hit pause/break when it said attempting to load from disc. and came back 3 min later and hit ENTER. then it gave the typical press any key to load from cd or dvd.
just thought i put in my two cents... hope this answer helps many to come.
