Hi and welcome.

Have you tried the HP site? Have you googled for example your model + drivers?

How To Find Drivers:

- search Google for the name of the driver
- compare the Google results with what's installed on your system to figure out which device/program it belongs to
- visit the web site of the manufacturer of the hardware/program to get the latest drivers (DON'T use Windows Update or the Update driver function of Device Manager).
- if there are difficulties in locating them, post back with questions and someone will try and help you locate the appropriate program.

- - The most common drivers are listed on this page: Driver Reference Driver Reference
- - Driver manufacturer links are on this page: Drivers and Downloads

I got some right drivers from the site . But when its finishng installation , it says it failed . or the system does not meet the right requirments , setup sill close . etc .
help .

Is this a laptop from some years back? Purchased originally with WinXP installed? Possibly with Vista?

These legacy machines are often not supported going forward for other than the OS that was sold pre-packaged with the unit.

It may be quite a challenge to find drivers that are suitable for this hardware, chipsets, video, etc., if it's not directly supported by Win7 out-of-the-box in a fresh install of Win7, or offered for separate download by the laptop manufacturer.

Quite often the Vista drivers can be used on Win7, but there's certainly no guarantee.

If Win7 itself finishes its install with lots of devices NOT installed properly and without having drivers (i.e. having yellow question marks in Device Manager), this is a strong indication that you're probably in for quite a battle to find drivers for the hardware. Better prepare yourself for doom, but good luck trying to seek out the Win7-usable drivers you need.

Either live with the original Windows on the laptop, or upgrade to a new laptop, may be your only options.

Specs on that laptop,

HP 510 Notebook PC specifications - HP Small & Medium Business Products

The only thing available for that laptop from HP are XP drivers,

http://h20000.www2.hp.com/bizsuppor...sId=3316189&swLang=8&taskId=135&swEnvOID=1093

there is a couple of Vista driver listed, but none of them are what you are looking for and they are 64 bit. Try using the XP drivers from HP for those three devices. Yo9u may have to use compatibility mode to get them to install,

http://www.sevenforums.com/tutorials/316-compatibility-mode.html

As far as the taskbar not being transparent and other Aero effects, that isn't going to happen as there are no Windows 7 drivers available for it as Intel never made one,

Graphics — Older Intel® graphics controllers and Microsoft Windows 7* operating system

so the XP driver is the only option for this.

 

[XxProblemsxX]

Hi ; stormy13 & thanks for your reply . I will do all as you say , but can you please give me specific links to each of the drivers on the HP site ? The modem/audio/video drivers etc .. ?
Thanks , i shall try all this after your next reply !

Not sure what to tell you for the modem driver, as HP doesn't list one. Better question would be, do you even use it, as in when was the last time you used it for a dial up connection or possibly for sending a fax?

 

[gregrocker]

I have an HP 510 laptop which has been running Win7 fine for years with just a 1gb RAM upgrade. It does not have aero, but then it is an old laptop I use on the beach.

The drivers which I have on file which are not supplied by installer are the same as Stormy linked just above. You'll need to download them then rightclick to Run As Admin. If any balk you may need to run them in XP Compatibility Mode and/or browse from Device Manager to their extracted folder in C: root to pick up the driver.

 

[XxProblemsxX]

Ya first of all what is a modem driver ?
I have a modem , but i use wireless on my laptop .
& i already receive internet so why do i have to get the LAN/ethernet drivers ?

Thanks a bunch .

 

[gregrocker]

Modem driver is almost always the outdated FAX modem built into older computers. You can disable it in Device Manager.

LAN is for the built-in wireless which works fine here. Even if you use a wire at home it will come in handy if you take it somewhere with you.

 

[XxProblemsxX]

Hi , gregrocker .

so in other words i should download/install all 3 drivers that stormy sent me links of . In comptability mode right ?

 

[XxProblemsxX]

Ok , so basically i should just install all 3 drivers that stormy sent links of , in compatibality mode right ?
& for the LAN/ethernet drivers theres 3 choices , which one do i download ? ;

Or all 3 ?

Thanks

 

[gregrocker]

It will be one of the first two wireless drivers.

I would not install the HP WIreless assistant which is bloatware that slows startup. Use the superior built-in Win7 wireless configured via the SYstem Tray icon.

 

[XxProblemsxX]

Ok , so the first 2 drivers , but which one ? does it matter ? please help me since we both have the same laptops lol .

& ya , ill delete that soon .

 

[gregrocker]

It depends on which wireless device you have.

Does it have a driver now in Device Manager so it tells you?

If not just try both to see which one either self-installs, or which one you can browse to pick up the driver from Device Manager.

 

[XxProblemsxX]

how can i check which wireless device thingy i have ?

 

[XxProblemsxX]

heres a screenshot of device manager ;

 

[gregrocker]

The PCI modem is a built-in fax modem on old computers - just disable it unless you need it. It is likely included in the chipset.

Those two other drivers are on the downloads page.

Your wireless adapter is listed under Network adapters, likely already installed since there is no device in error there.

 

[XxProblemsxX]

OK , so im going to install the other 2 drivers . So i dont need the LAN/ethrent drivers ? right .

thanks

 

[gregrocker]

Can't say since we can't see what installed Network Adapters you have. How are you connecting now?

If there is no wireless adapter installed yet, you should install it.
