upgraded to windows 7..and now my coprocessor is not working...?

[joko]

in device manager it has a ! symbol in a yellow box next to it and says it cannot update the drivers, and that the device is not using any resources because it has a problem..

any ideas what i can do?

the machine appears to be running pretty well, but obviously i want to fix this

thanks

install the chipset drivers for your motherboard.

Install the WINDOWS 7 drivers for your motherboard (if there are any)

cheers...of course...id forgotten all about belarc

but ist doesnt list "motherboard" - it does say main circuit board...would that be it?

or would it be listed as something else?

thanks

[ChuckFickens]

maincircuit board should be the one if you goto the manufacturers website you should be able to find the chipset drivers (incidentally, chipset drivers and motherboard drivers are the same thing, just a different name)

unless you have already done so, at least graphics drivers and sound drivers will probably need installing too (the standard windows ones won't give full performance)

looks like HP are not going to release drivers for my machine...

what does this mean for the coprocessor?

and does it mean i will have to go back to vista?

thanks

[ChuckFickens]

Try installing the vista drivers, the driver model is the same for vista and windows7 so if it lets you install them they should work.

If you're still screwed, look at Chipset make and use aftermarket drivers if available. Like Via chipset drivers for instance. They develop compatible drivers constantly.

thanks guys!

...not sure which, but something seems to have sorted it - i downloaded a driver finder type thing an also installed the vista one an there is no longer a yellow ! symbol anywhere...
so hopefully its sorted
