Microsoft ACPI Driver Windows 7 Service batcmd com

did you upgrade from vista to windows 7 or did you install a new copy of windows 7? If you didnt upgrade then your old files will be saved in a folder called windows.old

Install DirectX 9 graphics device with WDDM 1.0 or higher driver The physical memory should be at least 1 GB

I find it easiest to see what nvidia offer - their tool checks out your machine- download ithttp://www.nvidia.co.uk/Download/PreScan.aspx?lang=en-uk

Hi there
Sorry to hear you have a problem. Did you install windows 7 as an upgrade? If so, did you run the upgrade advisor before you upgraded? If you installed it as a new clean Operating System, did you check to see if your HP m1160n has drivers that will work with windows 7? I just went to the HP website to check for your drivers but it does not recognise the model you state M1160N. Go here http://welcome.hp.com/country/uk/en/support.html and put in all the numbers of all the stickers on the case or that look like HP. These maybe serial number, part number, model number, spares number until you get a match for M1160N. Then check to see if your drivers are available for Windows 7. If they are not you will need to install seperate new audio, network and TV tuner cards that er compatible with Windows 7.
All the best, Phil

Hi,

To my knowledge you cannot upgrade from Windows XP directly to Windows 7. You will have to upgrade to Vista and then to 7. Also there are limitations as to which Windows 7 version (Home, Professional, Ultimate) you can upgrade to from certain Vista versions.

If you dont have any information / data on the PC that you mind loosing, i suggest a clean install of Windows 7 by booting up from the Windows 7 dvd and formating the HDD before the installation procedure.

Windows 7 has a host of built in drivers that will probably cover all of the devices that are present on your system. If not then you can always download the drivers from the manufacturers site for the items that fail to install automatically under 7.

Let me know how it goes.

Your audio drivers may not be compatible with your install,
check online for compatibility of your system

theres a couple of compatibility tools available for free

on the DELL site
check your make n model in dowload area,
