    Thanks man, you saved life from going through endless pains for this crappy laptop.
    In short Compaq sucks big time. I hope they die a slow death. Dell is 100 times better than them.

    Is your winXP working fine now??

  5. Pema says:

    One of the best and the most informative sites that I have ever seen. All the Drivers are ready to download and it makes my day to day life routine easy.

    I browse the HP Website but they have nothing special there. They manufacture Laptops which are Vista compatable and but most of them time it run slow due to limited Ram or other problems.

    We usually prefer to install Windows xp2 thinking that it will run fine but most of them time we are stucked in the middle because of Driver Issue.

    Thanks for making all the device driver available for download. Great Job.

      hello my name is hemant sharma and i cannot handle this trouble so please help…..

  7. saysprasad says:

    Hello Arun,
    If you have installed the chipset drivers and followed the install guide for VGA the diver will be installed correctly. If errors persist it may be cause the OS may be messed up with previous drivers, Please uninstall the old drivers or reinstalling a fresh copy of XP is recommended.

    Thank you

  8. Maharshi Desai says:

    Hey Prasad,
    You came as an angel in this world with monopolistic arogance of corporate giants. Thanks a billion.
    A small glitch still not gone. My microphone is not responding, any tips?? During the installation, I missed your instructions about disabling the first and installing the second Audio Device on HD bus. So I installed for the first device and on realising the mistake. I immediately disabled it before installing for the next Audio device. Does it have anything to do with that?

    hi i have installed windows xp sp3. can i use the same drivers?

  156. Prasad,
    Thanks so much for your excellent instructions. It is rare and refreshing to find advice for updating device drivers that actually walks the user through a manual update via Device Manager. For non-IT people who do this once or twice in our entire lifetimes, this info is ESSENTIAL. Thank you for having the foresight and taking the time to provide that level of detail.

    I spent days trying to get all of the XP drivers to work, but was stumped with the audio driver and had resigned to give up my quest for an XP Downgrade. Luckily, I did one last search and stumbled upon your thread.
