    RE-INSTALLED WIN7 - NO SOUND OR INTERNET!!
    « on: October 27, 2011, 01:44:33 AM »
    I have re-installed Windows 7 Home Premium on to my desktop PC (Compaq). I had no sound, and after connecting the PC with an ethernet cord from from my modem/router in one, I realised I had no internet. I troubleshooted it, and it said that there were no installed soun or internet drivers or something like that. How to I fix this?? Please help. I have a laptop wich can access the internet (will this help??)
     ??? ??? ???

    With a working computer, travel here
    http://www.compaq.com/cpq-country/cpq_support.html
    Enter your model number and get the drivers for your computer. Save the files to a CD or flash drive and then take them to your Compaq and install them. Install the chipset drivers first.

    When you are done, open device manager to make sure you have all of the drivers installed and there are no more errors. To open device manager click start and type devmgmt.msc in the search box and press enter.

      Would it work on an External HDD or Usb, or would you recomend putting it on a disk?

      Sure. Just download the files and save them to the external. Then plug the external into the Compaq, find the files, and install them.
