One of my friend brought this laptop with Vista preinstalled . but he downgraded it to xp.
Sadly hp doesnot provide drivers in the cd for xp. after a lot of hard work i got the drivers from the net.
1. First, download and install Microsoft Universal Audio Architecture (UAA)
Bus Driver for High Definition Audio from the following link :
ftp://ftp.hp.com/pub/softpaq/sp32501-33000/sp32646.exe
After installing the UAA driver from the above links you have to restart
the notebook
2. Then download Conexant driver for High Definition Audio from
ftp://ftp.hp.com/pub/softpaq/sp34001-34500/sp34204.exe
You will find that the driver will not install and will give an error so one has to manually install the drivers.
For this go to Control Panel, Switch to Classic View, System and then to Hardware tab, Device Manager, there you will find a yellow question mark on "Conexant driver for High Definition Audio". Click right mouse button and select "Update Driver".
Select "No not this time" radio button in Hardware Update Wizard and click next.
Then on the next screen select " Install from a list or specific location(advanced)" and click Next.
Then on the next screen select "Don't search. i will choose the driver to install". Click Next. After this generally you get a screen where there is a tab for selection of "Have disk". Click on this and then Browse to the location where you had earlier stored the SP34204 files(Default place is c:\Swsetup\SP34204) and select the inf file and then you can install the driver peacefully and the driver also works.
3. Here is the link for the Modem driver:
ftp://ftp.hp.com/pub/softpaq/sp33501-34000/sp33890.exe
You have to install this driver similar to the installation method for Conexant driver for High Definition Audio
4. Here is the link for the Video Graphics driver:

I'm following the Hardware Update Wizard of "Conexant driver for High Definition Audio" file but can't enter the SP34204 folder to select the *.inf file. How do I enter the folder to select the inf file through Hardware Update Wizard for this and the other drivers. So far, only the "Microsoft Universal Audio Architecture (UAA)
Bus Driver for High Definition Audio & blue tooth" are working on my XP Service Pack 3 for Compaq Presario V3749AU. I also have a XP SP2 Gold edition which can be loaded on the laptop.
I manged to successfully install sound card driver after carefully reading your instructions (after many hours of trials). You've skipped one or 2 steps (after you get a screen where there is a tab for selection of "Have disk"). After clicking Have Disk tab, it says to select your hardware device & click next. The Question is - Which Device should be selected for the respective drivers in order to install the inf file. Could you give the full exact steps??? Thanks
hello im not able to install the sm bus driver. it says "hardware not found"
