I'll bet these questions sound pretty stupid, but stupid is as stupid wrote:
Once again, is there a simple way to find newer Soundmax drivers which will work with my hardware? So I installed the XP Soundmax driver, and everything works fine.except for the annoying, distant white-noise/buzzing which plagued me on WinXP. They gave me perfect sound, but the computer couldn't tell that I'd plugged in headphones, and the speakers stayed on.
I initially installed the generic Realtek AC'97 sound codecs/drivers from Realtek's website. Does anyone know of a set of ALPS drivers that would better match my hardware? Or at least a smarter way than downloading random ALPS drivers and trying them out? My current drivers (ALPS v.something) are for a Gateway or Toshiba laptop, and mostly work fine, except that once every few minutes, the cursor "sticks" and won't move for a second or two. So I tried ALPS drivers for random laptops, with varying success. My ALPS 5.4 touchpad drivers were incompatible with Win7 I tried running them in XP SP3 compatibility mode, but still got alerts and notifications, and I wanted better functionality anyway (chiral scrolling, horizontal scrolling). Obviously, HP doesn't supply Windows 7 drivers for an eight-year-old Compaq beast, so I used the WinXP drivers. It went mostly smoothly, but I have a couple of issues which I'm wondering if someone might help me with. Install the HP QuickLaunch Buttons software from here: Īt this point everything is working and there are no errors or missing drivers shown in device manager.Installed Windows 7 on this old beast last month. Install the video drivers posted above from here: Ħ. I chose to connect to the internet to look for drivers, and then to automatically install the drivers.ĥ. 
Install the Microsoft UAA driver posted above from here: Īfter finishing, Windows will detect new audio and modem hardware. This will get you the Broadcom Wireless and the Synaptics touchpad drivers.Ĥ. Make sure to install the hardware driver updates. Install the Nvidia chipset drivers from here: ģ. Ok, I just finished rolling back my F730US to Windows XP MCE 2005. Posted this in another thread, thought it might be useful here.
