Crappy vista drivers need help

I recently got a hand-me-down laptop (Compaq Presario F500).
It had windows vista installed and i HATE Vista.
I have ugraded/downgraded my desktop to windows 7 and i liked it and i wanted to do the same with the laptop.
However i have runto some driver issues.
My wireless adapter is unrecognized as well as my sound drivers.
i have a couple other devices that need to be installed but i dont know what to do.

I ran everest and im posting the results

Please if anyone can help me i would be greatly appreciative

Sincerely Master Dave

Re: Crappy vista drivers need help

Try the HP support site http://www.hp.com/#Support

Vista drivers should work with Win7

Re: Crappy vista drivers need help

For clarification, HP Support site does not have vista drivers or the Vista drivers did not work?
