Try the Vista 32 bit driver.
3 different for audio.
ftp://ftp.hp.com/pub/softpaq/sp38501-39000/sp38899.exe
ftp://ftp.hp.com/pub/softpaq/sp40001-40500/sp40170.exe
ftp://ftp.hp.com/pub/softpaq/sp37501-38000/sp37732.exe
Modem will appear after installing.
ftp://ftp.hp.com/pub/softpaq/sp37501-38000/sp37725.exe
Chip set driver for 1394.

Thanks for the suggestions!

It seems as if the sound card drivers will work as this problem did not reappear in systems drivers errors box.
But the 1394 driver did not load. The installation is looking for Vista! and I am running XP.

need some alternative suggestion,

THANKS so far

It seems as if the sp40170 driver works for the sound card driver loaded and error in setup disapeared.

But the sp37730 driver for the 1394 chip set did not load as it is looking for Vista and I am running XP

Any other alternatives?
