Compaq Presario C504EA XP Drivers??

[Chris IOW]

OK guys I am working on the above laptop for someone. It came with vista on but they wanted XP. I have installed XP with SP3. I have installed the Modem, Network, Chipset, Sound, Graphics and anything else I could think of but I have something not installed in the device manager its saying "Unknown Device"

Can anyone think what it could be? Or or is there a way of finding out?

It's probably 1 of the followings:

HP/Compaq Quick Launch Buttons
Touchpad
Card Reader
Fingerprint Sensor
Camera
Chipset Drivers

Sorry, I do not know exactly what hardware it has. The best way to do is to let Windows connect to the Internet to download and install the correct driver then make a note of what it is so you'll know what it is when you need to fresh install Windows next time.

No Bluetooth with this model and Wireless Running Fine :D

Dont tell me im going to actually have to go to HP for support! ....... NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!

[Van Nugent]

HP supports will take about 24hrs via email. The best way I normally did was to get on Live Chat with them. I really love their Live Chat supports. BTW, did you install the drivers for both wire and wireless adapters?
