Hey guys, s'up ?
Been a long while since I logged on.

Anyways, one of my peers just bought a new lappy. It's a
HP Pavillion DV2 1122AX (entertainment PC) .
It came preloaded with Vista but we want to downgrade.
Thing is, on the HP site here, I can't seem to find appropriate drivers.

If someone could give me a proper link it will be most welcome

cheers

edit - I'm looking for
AUDIO | NETWORK (LAN) | Graphics | NETWORK (wireless)
 
Downgrade to what? XP? Why? Vista is in it's late stages now, and a lot of the bugs have been worked out.. it's OK to adopt it lol

If you just bough the laptop new, you may also be eligible for the free Windows 7 upgrade.. check into that before downgrading. The upgrade isn't available yet, but it will be soon.

If you're still hell-bent on downgrading, here is a link to the tool you will need to install the drivers. You'll download and install this tool, then run it and it will search for the missing/appropriate drivers for your installation.

Actually the update thing didn't work. I've installed XP and manage to grab most drivers. however 3 is missing.

SM BUS controller
Unknown device (which i have no idea what the hell it is)
Video controller (Mobility Radeon 3000 series) I only need the display driver only not the suite

I seem to be having trouble with the link from ATI can someone host it on mediafire ? thanks in advance
