Title: Compaq Presario CQ40-310AU drivers for Windows XP needed
Post by: rebel214 on September 04, 2009, 09:23:44 PM

Hello! I have downgraded my Laptop from Vista to XP using a slipstreamed installer using Nlite to integrate driver for my AHCI SATA Controller. All hardware were installed successfully except for the 7 Unknown devices displayed on Device Manager.

The following devices were successfully installed:
1. AMD Chipset bundled with HD 3200 Graphics Video.
2. IDT HD Audio device.
3. Realtek RTL8102E Family PCI-E Fast Ethernet NIC.
4. Broadcom Wireless Network controller.
5. Agere HDA Modem.
6. Synaptics Touchpad.
7. JMicron Card Reader.
8. HP Quicklaunch Button.

I have downloaded my drivers from here: http://h30434.www3.hp.com/psg/board/message?board.id=OS&message.id=12875#M12875 (http://h30434.www3.hp.com/psg/board/message?board.id=OS&message.id=12875#M12875)

Can someone give me a link where I can download drivers for these 7 Unknown Devices? The link where the drivers are located have been removed. Thank you in advance!

Moral: check for available drivers BEFORE changing OS.

Thank you for the advice..I have already downloaded these drivers before I reinstall windows, and all of them worked except for these 7 Unknown Devices in Device Manager. The laptop is now running fine despite of these unknown devices that are not being installed. I know it is my responsibility to prepare needed drivers for my system before any modification, but I honestly don't use Vista..I am using XP SP3 in my desktop PC quite a few years and without problems that's why I also downgrade Vista to Windows XP..

Hope someone in this community can help me find correct drivers for my system..

Thanks in advance... :)

Well my friend you may bitten off quite a bit to chew here...

HP of course officially doesn't support that model with XP as an OS. So the easy way of obtaining those drivers is non-existent.

I have looked around for you a bit at the most logical places I could think of. This seems to be your best bet. Although I wouldn't call it a safe a bet, and will definitely be a learning experience the whole way!

Good luck with your new project my friend.

Right-click on the entry for the "unknown device" and then select "Properties". In the "Properties" window, click on the "Details" tab and let me know the string displayed under Device ID.

Find the device ID  :)
