    Did you get an installation wizard for the sound drivers or did it just unpack the files?

    After you downloaded the .exe for the sound driver and ran it, 2 things happen:

    1. The .exe file will extract itself (the exe will more than likely extract itself to... c:\SWSETUP\)
    In that folder you will have folders named like this:
    SP44940
    SP45166
    2. An installation wizard will open asking you things like accepting the terms and conditions/license agreement with a series of pages that you would just click Next on.

    After you ran the .exe did you actually get the installation wizard?

    Yes I did & even though they are installed on the computer the problem still persist. Tell me though, would installing a windows XP remove this problem?

    Try having a look at the following link, 2nd post being the area to read, Although HP does not officially support windows 7 on your laptop (hence not having 'Windows 7' Drivers on their site) the 2nd post may be of help.

    Just encase you were not aware, the coprocessor is the chipset driver.

    The above link has links to the chipset and audio drivers (for vista) but based on the SP number they are different to the ones you have downloaded.

    Worth a try

    Hopefully this will help.

    cdgemor the problem is that that driver set is too new for your laptop and as a result there is no support for it in the drivers. You need to find out which Nvidia chipset is on the motherboard (from what I can find, it has the 72/7300 Go video), but HP doesn't like to make it easy with the specs for most of their laptops.

    That said grab this,

    CPUID - System & hardware benchmark, monitoring, reporting

    and post a screen shot of the Motherboard tab. Hopefully it will show enough info to point you to which chipset driver to use (and will hopefully work with the laptop version of the chipset).
