Compaq Presario F755US

[nick.harmsen]

I have a Compaq Presario F755US, and I've been trying to find drivers for this bugger for an hour now, and seem not to be able to find any...

Any help please, much appreciated

Um, just to let you know, that doesn't have all the XP drivers I need....

What other drivers are you looking for?

Did this originally come with vista? If not, they should all be on the restore disk that you got with the computer.

[nick.harmsen]

It is a Compaq, does not come with a restore disk, and there are NO drivers on the website...

Chipset
Audio
Video
LAN
SM Bus

This is just ridiculous, they can't put the divers for XP on the website? I can't find any...

I need this done within the next hour

You might have a recovery partition then. If it originally came with xp, then you have the drivers. If not on disc, then tehre has to be a recovery partition.

It never came with XP on it, it came with Vista, and I refuse to run Vista

I would try to contact HP then and see if they have any drivers. Or look for a similar model, and see if their drivers work.

[nick.harmsen]

Well I contacted HP and they didn't help...

Get the complete specs that either came with the machine, from HP, or Google for them. Once you have determined exactly what vid card, audio, etc is in the critter, you can find the XP drivers for the devices.

EDIT: I found this:

Fair warning!!! You will have a very hard time finding driversfor XP for this laptop. Google is your friend and don't expect any love from HP. They make it quite clear that they only support Vista on this machine. I have successfully found XP replacements for all drivers, but the audio driver doesn't work 100%. Thesound and volume work OK, but when you plug in headphones, the on-board speakers remain on, essentially nullifying the whole point of a headphone jack. A downer to be certain, but a small setback that can be tolerated for the superior performance and support of XP Pro. If you're not comfortable administering an XP Pro system, don't try this at home. HP does not send you reinstall CDs with the computer, so if you wipe off Vista and put XP on this box, make sure you have the drivers beforehand unless youhave a second computer with Internet Access nearby. With all the work needed to get XP Pro to run on this laptop, it was all worth it. It's rather gratifying when a student walks up with a new mega-powerful laptop with eye-candy Vista Ultimate installed and cannot even access the campus WiFi and then I pull up my nicely customized XP Pro that immediately connects and runs circles around their more powerful system. Summary... If you intend to run XP on this machine, then it is a fantastic deal. If youintend to run the preinstalled Vista Home Premium, then don't expect much. It's not the computer's fault. It runs great with a good OS.

Good luck,
