    I have a HP Pavilion m700c Media Center. I guess it had some problems and my brother erased the hard drive and re-installed his version of windows XP. Now all the drivers (sound card Realtek ALC 883 or ALC 888 chipset, video card GeForce 7500LE and Integrated 10/100 Base-T networking interface) are missing and I am unable to add a connection for the internet. How can I obtain these drivers and get back online?

    Hi

    Do you have the exact model number as I'm finding at least 20+ with the model code M7xx at HP support


    Downloads and drivers can be found at this below link, just need the exact model varient to get the correct drivers as various model varient within the 700 series will have different hardware.

    The model is the HP Pavilion Media Center TV m7557c Desktop PC. I have been to that site and all they show me is a Windows XP download. I have downloaded the sound card driver and video driver at various other sites but I am still unable to connect to the internet. The model specifications say that it has an Integrated 10/100 Base-T networking interface. I have no idea what that is or if I need to download a driver for this or not. Thanks for your help.

    Yes looking at HP they are kinda lacking in the full driver package for your system, the Integrated 10/100 Base-T Networking interface is your ethernet connection to your router or modem and will be needed to connect to the internet, supprised that XP didnt install once for you as default, but as your Motherboard has all these components onbaord, you will most likely need the Chipset drivers from nVidia, which have those drivers as part of the package.


    Download here only if you have Windows XP Media Center Operating System installed

    Download if you have the normal Windows XP Home or XP Pro Operating System installed
