Windows 7 drivers for HP laptop

flyjum · 08-30-2009, 09:53 PM

I installed windows 7 on a older hp laptop.

What drivers do I run vista or xp drivers as per this page.

Its a DV8125NR with 1.5gb ram

I need the video drivers and sound drivers for this.

Has anyone installed windows 7 from a fresh install IE no update just on a clean HD? What drivers did you run?

My sound does not work with stock windows 7 drivers.

Your best bet is to run windows update manually. Go to control panel and run it. Then click the button "view available updates". Usually drivers are not checked, so check them. They may or may not be available, but that'd be the first place to verify.

If you can't find Win 7 drivers you will find that Vista drivers usually work
