Well, this has got me stuck. Everything is correct. Must be something else missing. With that in mind here are some interesting message threads:

http://forum.notebookreview.com/show...=194728&page=2

http://forum.notebookreview.com/showthread.php?t=200763 (Long Thread)

There are more of these and some of the solutions they offer may work for ou. The only thing that I can think of that may be blocking some of this is Windwos XP Sp3! If you have this installed please remove it.

Hi Guys,
I hope you do not mind me stepping in.
Brow96, I commend you in your attempts to resolve this issue.
Pencapchew, I commend you for your patients as downgrading from Vista to XP can be tough.
I feel along the line that with all the drivers you have installed it may have corrupted your install. When downgrading the most important step after the install is to get the chipset driver working properly. The other drivers will not install properly without the direction of the chipset driver.

I reccommend that you start with a new clean install. Then run EVEREST under my signature and post the results. This report will help me in locating the correct drivers.
You should download and name these drivers so that you know what they are and put the in a folder so you know where they are and can make a backup when done.
Reboot after every install!! If you run into a problem STOP and Post what problems you are having. Most of these drivers should be installed via a manual install. Go to the device manager and right click on the proper driver and click UPDATE>No, not at this time>Install from a list or specific Drivers>Browse to where you have that driver. Besure you have extracted, named and placed these drivers to a folder.

The chipset driver is here:
http://www.nvidia.com/object/nforce_...nxp_16.08.html
Download and install this driver.

Grapics driver here:
http://drivers.softpedia.com/get/GRA...Go-15655.shtml

The network control driver LAN is a Realtek 8139 Series. Here is a link:
http://www.realtek.com.tw/downloads/...&GetDown=false

The wireless lan driver is an Atheros AR2425 (Chipset), Model AR5007EG:
Driver file here: http://www.atheros.cz/download/drive....0.56-whql.zip
Again, download and install.

Now this should get you up and running on the NET. You should now do a Full Microsoft Update. This will help us with the next steps.

The next steps is the UAA Driver from Microsoft. Here is a link:
http://h10025.www1.hp.com/ewfrf/wc/s...roduct=1817059
Download and install.

Then the Audio driver:
http://h10025.www1.hp.com/ewfrf/wc/s...os=228&lang=en
Conexant HD audio (for AMD) Install and reboot

The Modem Driver here:
http://h10025.www1.hp.com/ewfrf/wc/s...os=228&lang=en
Install and reboot

The media Card Reader is here:
http://h10025.www1.hp.com/ewfrf/wc/s...os=228&lang=en
Again download and install

At this point you should be close to getting this up and running. Double check your device manager and post any errors.
Thanks,
Bill

Hi all, That means I have to reinstalled my OS all over again and start from the beginning? Hmm..oh well then, I'll try it later. Wait for my good news and thanks Brow and BCCOMP for your support.

**BCCOMP** · 01-23-2008, 05:04 PM

Hi Pencapchew,
Yes I would, I have seen you all over the web asking for assistance. Me personally, would start with a CLEAN install and start from scratch. The Chipset MUST be properly installed First. Remember this is a downgrade and the manufactures (DELL, GATEWAY. SONY,etc. etrc.) do not support this.,
WHY?
I do not have all the answers, but I am here to help.
Thanks,
Bill

Hi, thanks for the drivers above. Can I continue proceed to update my windows after installing the chipset and graphic drivers? Because, still having problem installing LAN drivers and the Wireless.

**BCCOMP** · 01-24-2008, 09:25 PM

Hi,
What problems are you having?

pencapchew · 01-24-2008, 09:32 PM

First, i extracted the file from the "wireless" folder. And then i click "install" from the .inf file. But, it seems like nothing happen? And the Realtek driver u send me...it actually ask me to shutdown my computer and slot in the network card? And, now can i continue to update my windows without these two drivers because im using USB LAN? please advise.

**BCCOMP** · 01-24-2008, 09:59 PM

Hi,
Try this driver for your Lan:
http://www.nvidia.com/object/nforce_...p2k_14.10.html
Do a manual install of this driver.
The wireless should have worked. Try to do a manual install of the driver.
Let me know.
Thanks,
Bill

**BCCOMP** · 01-24-2008, 10:25 PM

Hi,
Is this install of XP SP2? If not please update to SP2.
Also could you please run Everest under my signature and post the results.
The Atheros wireless is in a zip file did you extract it to a folder you made? You may have to do a manual install directing XP to go to that specific folder.
Thanks,
Bill

The UAA driver I can installed but the Audio driver installation is failed?

brow96 · 01-25-2008, 07:44 AM

Just a side note here, the Chipset drivers must be installed AFTER you have SP1 installed or the USB Functions will not work, along other things. Also DirectX 9.0 must be installed or the audio might not work at all. This is so stated on the Nvidia site for the Chipset drivers.

HTH

Bill

**BCCOMP** · 01-25-2008, 08:08 AM

Yes Brow96 has hit it on the head, You need SP2 to install the rest of the drivers. I am sorry, I had assumed this was XP sp2. Please do a full update first before continuing. Post the errors in the device manager to give us an idea of your progress.
I hope you are putting these drivers (that are working) in a folder so you have them to burn to CD for a backup.
Thanks,
Bill

pencapchew · 01-26-2008, 06:41 AM

hi, May i know how to check whether if i already updated to directx 9? And where can i download it?

**BCCOMP** · 01-26-2008, 07:58 AM

Hi,
To check the version go here:
If you did a full MS Update then it and all the other updates should be done.
Is this a legit XP disc and is it validated? If not you will not beable to get the updates you need to make this work.
Thanks,
Bill

hiflyr91 · 01-26-2008, 09:50 AM

I posted up a driver download over in azka's thread. You may want to check it to see if it might be of any help to you.
Good luck.

pencapchew · 01-28-2008, 04:45 AM

hi all, currently my device manager look something like this

There's one more unknown device? Is that the bluetooth?

**BCCOMP** · 01-28-2008, 05:54 AM

Hi pencapchew,
Lets take it one driver at a time.
The wireless lan driver is an Atheros AR2425 (Chipset), Model AR5007EG:
Driver file here: The wireless lan driver is an Atheros AR2425 (Chipset), Model AR5007EG:
Driver file here: http://www.atheros.cz/download/drive....0.56-whql.zip
Again, download and install.

Again, download and install.
Can you also run Everest and post the report?

Let me know how you make out.
Thanks,

pencapchew · 01-28-2008, 06:22 AM

The report is too long how do i reply here?

**BCCOMP** · 01-28-2008, 06:47 AM

Hi,
Post the summary section of the report.
I think the link I gave you for the Atheros wireless is down try this one:
http://www.acerpanam.com/flex/acerdr...TOKEN=73069701
It is for an Acer Aspire 5100, but has the same wireless card.
Let me know if this one works.
Thanks,
Bill

pencapchew · 01-29-2008, 02:55 AM

Hi, the wireless is working now. Thanks.
