Hi,
You should never downgrade an OS unless you can find All the drivers for it.
I am not familiar with this unit, but I will give it a try, NO GAURANTEE
First did you backup your Vista OS? You may need the backup if this fails.

Here is your SPECS:
http://h10025.www1.hp.com/ewfrf/wc/d...roduct=3819624

The following drivers should ba EXTRACTED to a folder and installed through the Device Manager manually. DO NOT run the EXE file.

Chipset Driver:
http://www.nvidia.com/object/nforce_...nxp_18.11.html

Video Driver:
http://www.nvidia.com/object/geforce...9.28_beta.html

This should get you on the internet.

Update to SP2 only (at this time). DO NOT install SP3

You will also need Net Frame work 2.0:
http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/d...displaylang=en

UAA Driver:
http://h10025.www1.hp.com/ewfrf/wc/g...reg_R1002_USEN
MUST be installed prior to the sound driver

Audio:
http://www.mediafire.com/?dg0cmmkm4y4

Unzip to a folder.
Run installer. If it errors use device Manager.
From Device Manager:
Right click "Audio Device on HD"and choose Update driver
Select the following:
No to connect.
Install from a list or specific location.
Don't search I will choose the driver to install.
In the list of common hardware types, scroll down and select Sound, Video, and Game controllers.
Remove the check from "Show Compatible Hardware".
Click on "Have Disk".
Next...browse to the unzipped folder and choose the "WiSVHe5.inf".Ignore XP when it complains
Reboot

Modem:
http://h10025.www1.hp.com/ewfrf/wc/g...reg_R1002_USEN
This must be installed for your sound to work

Wireless Lan depending on model:

WLan:Atheros
http://h10025.www1.hp.com/ewfrf/wc/g...reg_R1002_USEN

WLan: Broadcom
http://h10025.www1.hp.com/ewfrf/wc/g...reg_R1002_USEN

HDMI Driver:
http://www.nvidia.com/object/nforce_...10.3.0.23.html

Here are the remaining XP Drivers for your model:
http://h10025.www1.hp.com/ewfrf/wc/s...roduct=3819624

By this time you should have almost everything up and running.
Please post any errors you have remaining in the device manager.

Hope this helps,
Bill

Hi,
I do not see the UAA, Sound or Modem drivers installed.
Did you install these drivers posted in thread #2?
What do you mean you changed things a bit in thread #5?
Bill

Adultas

I dont know nothing happens when i install these 3, previuosly i instaled them but they didnt work so i uninstaled them, now i cant install them i get error "could not find modem for this driver" and "could not find media device for this driver"

BCCOMP

Did you try a Manual Install as suggested in post #2 (much like the Audio)
Bill

Adultas

Yes but i couldnt, i instaled video that way, maybe i need to start everything from begining, reinstal windows and all drivers from begining, like i said i need just sound but i cant install it dont know what to do :)

Riskyone101

You will not beable to get high definition audio driver if you have downgraded

especially after installing sp3 on a downgrade of windows.

Adultas

I havent instaled SP3, i instaled win with SP2

Riskyone101

downgrading OS from vista to xp = no high definition audio driver.

Adultas

so i cant have sound with this laptop on xp win yes ?

BCCOMP

Since when?, I have successfully downgraded thousands of computers with HD audio, especially HPs
I will admit though some are tougher than others.

Adultas,
You may have to just start over and reinstall windows. I have seen where many different drivers are tried and not removed before attempting to install another driver. I have also seen when not installing the drivers in EXACT order also causes issues.

Go back to post #2 and install the drivers in the order given. If you run into a problem DO NOT skip to the next driver. Post a screenshot of the device manager and what the issue is.

Just be sure to EXTRACT each driver to a FOLDER (DO NOT RUN THE SETUP or EXE File).
Name the folder and know where you EXTRACTED it to (Usually MY Documents).
Then go to the device manager>Right Click on the error>Select Update driver>Select No not at this time>Select Install from a list or specific location>Select include this location in the search>Browse to the folder for that particular driver you EXTRACTED.
Reboot the Laptop after each driver is installed.

Let me know how it goes.

One question before i start reinstaling windows is ir bad if my win is with SP2 should i get with SP1, and update to SP2 at the time when its said in #2 ?

BCCOMP

You can use XP SP2 (it is reccommended) and as long as it is a LEGIT XP OS. Just do not install SP3 until all your drivers are working properly.
Keep me posted if you run into an issue.
