- ATI Mobility RADEON XPRESS X200M Series
- In-Build Conexant ATI AC '97 Modem
- HP Quick Launch Buttons
Since both of the built-in Ethernet and wireless network adapters are detected by Windows 7, I started Windows Update and installed the display driver through Windows Update. Drivers for the modem and quick launch buttons can be downloaded from HP/Compaq support site. For the quick launch buttons, extract the package with 7-zip and only install the driver.

Hi, someone just gave me this same exact laptop. I was thinking about putting Windows 7 on it, just as you did. I was hoping that you might be able to answer a couple of questions before i do. What was the performance like? What it sluggish? Also, is this computer still working now? Thanks for time.
ReplyDeleteHi, rockinfarmer
ReplyDeleteThe performance was acceptable when Windows 7 was installed on this laptop. But I recall I was unable to get Aero visual effects working. Before I could test it further, I reinstalled Windows XP on the laptop and sold it. I hear from the buyer that the laptop is still working.
Hi Kenjoey,
ReplyDeleteThanks for the reply and also for telling me about your experience. I think i'm going to try to install one of the distribution of Linux. Thanks again.
