    Windows 7 not recognizing hardware


    After I have installed windows 7 onto my laptop, it doesnt recognize things like my scroll bar on my touch pad, I dont think it recognizes my chipset because some games I have tried to play lately say I dont even have a chipset... What is causing this? Does Windows 7 not configure to your computer when you install it? Im confused....

    Thanks in advance

    Start
    Computer (right click)
    Manage

    On the left side, Device Manager

    Look for splats - yellow exclamation marks.

    Provide a screenshot or report them.

    Also, provide a more detailed HP model number for more detailed assistance.
