My Notebook is HP/Compaq CQ40-323AX. When I seed the windows7, I love it at once. And I have installed Windows 7 to virtual pc. But I want to install Windows 7 to my notebook but not virtual pc. So some problems occurred. It's the driver. Because the Windows 7 was based on the vista, I think it may run well when using the vista drivers (The drivers were downloaded at www.hp.com.cn)
Who can tell me I can do as I think? It's my thought right?
i have Compaq Presario CQ40-717TU Notebook PC, the problem is
my netbook support for windows vista, but i want to downgrade it to windows xp, because some school work still using windows xp. I've been surfing everywhere.

I can't seem to find the system drivers for "Compaq CQ40-517TU" I mean the chipset,audio,video and important drivers. I already look for drivers on HP sites but only HP bundled drivers are available. There is no drivers for system.

Just got a new laptop (well second hand) and it is supposed to be ACPI compliant. I cant install windows7 as it says it isn't ACPI compliant on the bios, i cant find anything in the Bios to enable it. It comes up with saying the Bios is not ACPI compatable, i have tried looking in the bios but i cannot find anything.When XP is installing, you can press F5 to select ACPI but i cant, just STANDARD PC.
i have a presario 2500 and i try to install win7.After the installation starts i get to a screen when the hdd is not found and asks for drivers.What drivers should i load and how? in order for win7 to find hard disk and start installing?
is there any iso dvd disk which has these drivers preloaded?
I'm stuck at a screen installing windows 7 where it says "a required cd/dvd drive device is missing." when i'm trying to install windows 7. I can't see a hdd to select to install windows on.
need help with the Mass Storage device. cannot seem to get any of the drivers from HP to work. Also have a unknown device. Went down the entire list. Only those two things would not install.
I just bought a HP Pavilion laptop which is running 64bit Windows 7. My old printer is Compaq IJ600 and ran on XP fine.No drivers have been made since for Vista or 7, and I am not able to figure out if I can find either an updated driver someone has created perhaps, or how to run the old drivers in 64bit.Or to get it to run in compatability mode successfully as XP or Vista. Is there any way to continue using my Compaq printer without buying a new one?
I installed windows 7 and lost audio and some how downloaded a driver and installed it and all worked great, i had to replace HDD and now i do not have audio and now and i can not rember what i did last time i have tryed 5 differnt ones but i am missing somethin
I have a HP Compaq nc4000 which I have installed windows 7 on a clean hard drive. Windows 7 took 8 hours to install and now every time it boots up it takes around an hour before I can use it. Time to boot to the desktop is around 10 minutes, however the computer remains frozen. After an hour the computer becomes responsive and I am able to use as normal.
Also if I put the computer into Hibernation I can use it that way, however the moment I power off completely I will have to go through the same problems. At the moment I have nothing installed on the hard drive other than windows. There is no problem with my copy of windows as I was able to install this to my desktop without problems.
My system specs are:
1.4ghz processor 1GB of RAM 160GB HD Windows 7 ultimate 32bit
From my own experience I probably think this is a driver problem, however I have gone onto HP website but there are no Windows 7 or Vista drivers available for my system. It just seems strange it all works as normal after about an hour.
I would be really grateful if anyone has any suggestions.
