will HP vista drivers work with windows 7 professional?
also, at my computer it currently shows 2 drives the normal 'C' drive (220gb), and a HP recovery drive (10gb). when I install win 7 will the recovery drive be deleted?
I have an HP DV6500 with an AMD TL-64 processor and the NVidea GeForce 8400M GS graphics card. It's the rs085av model.
I recently installed Windows 7 Pro 32 bit, and I managed to install all the drivers except for two items. It shows "Coprocessor" and "Unknown Device" as incorrectly installed. I don't know what the Unknown device is, but it might be my cd drive (slimtype DVD A DS8A1P ATA), which also isn't working. Also not working is my Ethernet port, which is on the motherboard.
So, if anyone knows what drivers I need to grab to get those to work, or if I need to reinstall the chipset, I would love to know.
Ok so I installed windows 7 on a Hp Pavilion dv6500 a couple of weeks ago and had lots of trouble updating drivers but this guy from this forum kindly helped me figure almost everything out, after a couple of days I tried to use some of my usb connections and none of them are working, it either says it can't be recognized or they just won't open at all, I really NEED to use my usb connections are right now and none of them are working.

I have an old HP Pavillion 751 desktop with a P4 2Ghz. I put a new AGP vid card in and loaded Windows 7 32bit. The OS loaded fine, but the system will not boot at all. It's just a reboot loop. I cannot get Windows 7 to even display on the screen for half second to press F8. I tried doing a startup repair also, but it will not boot. I then tried to load Vista...same exact result. I had XP running fine on here. The HD and RAM are good, no issues there. What is the reason this system will not run with either Vista or 7, even with a brand new 'aero' compatible video card?
I have a HP pavilion P6000 with windows 7.About a couple of months after I purchased the computer,I would turn it on and it would just loop the HP splash screen over and over. I called HP and after hours trying this and that I was told to disconnect any plugs from the computer and push the start button for 2 seconds to discharge any static then it would start right up, that worked for a few weeks Started happening over and over, sent the computer back to HP (after hrs. of tech support) they replaced the motherboard. That worked for about a month then same thing happened again.
Sent it back again (after hrs. of tech support) HP replaced something to do with the possessor, work for a while. Now every time I boot up I have the same problem again looping the HP splash screen until I discharge the static, then it works until I shut it off.
The volume icon on the taskbar reads "No Audio Output Device is Installed". No sound whatsoever not even out of the headphone jack. HP does not make a driver update. They told me my computer is too slow to run Windows 7. Funny, because I'm running 7 as I type this! Works great, other than this issue.
If there isn't a driver, I can of course get a USB or Express card sound card, right?
So I just installed windows 7 recently on my sisters HP pavillion dv5000
There are a number of problems. First the keyboard is wack. After I type a few words it'll jump to a middle of a sentence before or 2 words before and start from there as I type. like I'll write hey how are you and it goes between h and ow and starts the cursor all the way over there or it'll be gone and start no where. and it'll go to the post button or something.
Another issue but not as big is the fact that there is a mute button if you are familiar with the HP pavillion DV5000 and when you press it the light goes on, if you turn on the mute. This always happens. It happened when I still use windows XP, now that I changed it to windows 7 however it no longer works. If I press mute or even if I don't the button is not turned on.
Any one can help? ESPECIALLY with the wacky keyboard situation. I can't type anything without it going back midway and start to type out of the wrong section of it.
Sound Issue: whenever I hibernate then restore windows the sound is gone! I cannot get it back unless I restart my PC.
Anyone here have any HP notebook or let alone any notebook at all that when you go to put it to sleep if hangs for a while then goes to sleep but comes back out? any known fixes?
i have an HP Pavillion dv9000 series laptop that came with a media center remote.
right now im using MediaMonkey for my music instead of WMP. i had the remote working in vista (original OS) but it wont recognize my remote and crashes MM when i just recently tried using it.
would installing the vista driver work or do i need something else?
I just did a clean install of Windows 7 Ultimate 64bit on my HP Pavillion dv6812nr and after which, my graphic card isn't being recognized. The OS recognizes the graphics and a "non-PnP graphic card" not my NVIDIA.
When I checked the Device Manager some of my drivers weren't recognized, hence I tried updating then. Now my OS can see NVIDIA, but still does not use it as the graphic card. Now my screen looks crappy and can't use the AERO feature.
I just installed win xp pro 32bit on a pavillion a1000n desktop pc, and now the display isn't working correctly. The color resolution won't go higher than 4bit? and I can't adjust display more than 620 x 480. For some reason the video driver isn't working.
a few days ago, I formatted my HP pavillion dv6870ej laptop (core 2 duo 2.8, 3GB, SATA 320GB drive, Nvidia 8400M)
it came with vista and performance was really good.
I installed win 7 rc (I need it to be a legit copy, and the 1-year evaluation offer wins my attention)
I updated all drivers and ran a radersync..
I was expecting a slimmer, faster OS.
but Win 7, while acceptable still feels a little behind vista, most notable is the application launch time, office 2007 word or excel takes about twice the time to launch on Windows 7 than on vista.
GUI also feels a little bit slow, while still responsive it does not have the screaming fast feeling I had with vista.
my WEI scores are 5.1 - 5.8 in all categories, except for display , aero graphics is 2.2 (!!!), and gaming graphics is 5.1
could any of you point me to what could be wrong ? what can't I see the performance boost and why is it slower than vista ?
I installed windows 7 ultimate, i did not just upgrade I did the more advanced install. I iinstalled it on a HP pavillion g series that was already running windows 7. I did back it up fully. However, the problem is that it is now not recognizing a properly installed network adapter.
