First you might go to Device Manager, right click your hardware device in the list and select Update Driver Software; then click Search automatically for updated driver software.Drivers on the Windows Update site are directly provided by hardware manufacturers. Microsoft tests drivers in various environments before they are published.
If it does not work on your issue, I'd suggest you installing the Vista driver in Compatibility mode. Remove and rescan that hardware device in Device Manager, right-click on the driver executable/installer file -> Properties and select the Compatibility tab; click the checkbox before Run this program in Compatibility mode for option and select Windows Vista in the list-down box; then try installing the device driver. In addition, you can use the Windows XP driver for testing.

In between understand that Windows 7 is a new operating system and whole driverstore has been reprogrammed; you might wait for another period of time till the retail version is released and push the vendor company to upgrade their device driver.

I would suggest it`s a bad solder connection to the board on your laptop or a small break inside the power chord wire right at the neck of the wire plug.If you can find an identical notebook to try the plug in...that may narrow your problem as to the power chord or the notebook plug,good luck:)

If you have another computer of the same make and model, you can do it.
You will need to remove the screws from the bezel around the screen and remove it. This MAY require the removal of the cover above the keyboard.
Once you have the bezel off, there are probably 3-4 screws on each side of the display that hold it to the brackets. Gotta remove them and unplug the video cable on the back of the display as well as the power cable from the inverter.

1. Go on start menu and find "control panel" 2. Once you've clicked on "control panel" click on "network and sharing centre" 3. Click on "view full map" 4. Check it says "computer name"(Or your name, Or what ever you saved it as) > "Server name" (again what ever you saved it as) > "Internet" 5. If it does not say internet go onto your browser and type in your IP/server code for example 193.161.3.5 this should allow you to administrate your connection. 6. If your wireless make sure it's picking up the signal.
If this does not work please contact your server provider.
Hope this helped
If not - There's one more option - If google chrome is not connecting - open "google chrome" web browser click on "tools" again then "options" then "change proxy settings" then connect it to your internet.
Hope 1 of my 2 solutions helpedDr Reed

Hey mate,

You should look for an external audio card maybe some of the capacitators and transistors in your built in sound device have ceased.

Check the web for external sound card for your notebook.

You have a great night.

Do advise on the results.

The model "V3000" is a generic term for a bunch of different models. To make sure you get the right drivers for your specific model, start at HP's site here and pick yours from the list. Then pick the Windows XP operating system and you'll find the drivers they have for download.

Hi,

You can find the bios driver for your laptop HERE. Since your updating drivers you might want to update all of them, that way you've got a current system.

Good Luck

Thanks

sir check you operating system its compatible in your souds

Hi, well ur DVD\CDRW drive is a combo drive. It can play CDs\DVDs but burns only CDs as it's NOT a DVDrw @ the same time. It won't burn a DVD.

.... In future I propose u either to replace the drive by a DVDRW or u may buy an external slim dvdrw if u want to keep ur existing drive as well. 2nd solution is best BTW.

First check to see if you have a floppy disk in your floppy drive, if so remove it.
Second check if you have a CD disk in the CD/DVD drive, if so remove it.
If there are no disc in the drives, then the ntldr file is missing or corrupted and needs to be replaced. Please follow these instructions :-

Try downloading Internet Explorer 8 from this site http://www.microsoft.com/Windows/internet-explorer/ and install it. It would solve your browsing problem.
