XP drivers for HP m8357c

I just installed windows xp home on my HP 8357c pc that originally came with vista. The hardware in my "other devices" does not have the drivers installed and i am unable to get online with the new pc because of this. Can someone help me out with finding the correct drivers?

Here is a link to my pc specs. It now has XP on it and not vista.

The PC that i am trying to get the drivers for is not able to get online.

 

I would suggest you put it on a thumb drive then run it. Will the xp computer boot?

once you get to that page go down to post 6. these are the drivers for you mobo

 

Are these the drivers you are talking about?

Your chipset drivers: (Install first)

Your audio driver:
http://www.majorgeeks.com/Realtek_Hi...P03_d4902.html\
Your video driver:
http://www.nvidia.com/object/winxp_169.21_whql.html

Will these get my network card working?

My pc is up and running but unable to get online.
In my device manager / other devives, i have the following items with a question mark :

?802.11bg WLAN
?Audio device on HD audio bus
?Other PCI bridge device
?PCI Simple Comm. controller
?SM bus controller
?Video controller(VGA Compatible)

Sorry for so many questions, just worried about installing wrong drivers, I was told it could realy cause problems.

 

I looked at the other post and they have the same mother board as you and had the same problem, and the drivers posted were the ones for his mother board which is the exact same mobo as you have. If after installing these drivers you still have a problem post back and we will continue to research your drivers to get you up and running.

 

Thank buggabear, Im new at having to search for drivers. Got the PC for under $300 brand new but with no hard drive. So i am used to plugging in new PC's and it be up and running with no problems but since i had to buy a HD and OS, the whole driver thing is kind of new to me. Ill download them later today when i get home and post back what happens.

Thanks again.

 

I downloaded the drivers onto my flash drive but when i try to install them on the new pc i get This message:

Windows-no disk
Exception Processing message c0000013 Parameters 75b6bf7c 4 75b6bf7c 75b6bf7c.

I am given the option to retry, after several retries, a new box opens and says :

Nvidia Windows 2000/XP nforce drivers

Unable to create the specified folder.

What to do???What to do???

Thanks

 

I have mad a little progress. In my device manager, the other devices that now have the ? next to them is down to 3 from 6.

?802.11 bg WLAN
?Multiemedia controler
?PCI Simple Comm Controller.

I am still unable to get on line.

Thanks in advance for any help that can be given.

research this one and found that it will install the PCI controller.
I'm not sure why it is installing in pieces. The chipset and the others should have taken care of all of them.
I'm still looking for the others

 

Should i reinstall the drivers?

 

One note, During the instalation i had a warning come up saying that some of the drivers were allready installed and over writing them counld cause system insabaility, do you want to over write ? I clicked no! Should i have over writen them? Probably.

Sorry for any extra work i have caused.

Thanks in advance for any and all help given.

 

Hello

This file is a Vista driver.
Also pc told me that i need to be logged on as the administrator!!??

 

Ok, I am able to get online with the pc being haRDwired to the net. I still have the 3 question marks in my device manager. Is there a program that i can download or should i do windows update to get the remaining drivers?

This link is supposed to have all the driver needed to get you back to normal. click on the link download the driver, you do not have to uninstall anything.

If this doesn't help post back and we will try something else...

 

Downloaded latest link but still have ??? in the device manager.

 

http://www.nvidia.com/object/nforce_winxp_15.24.html

Sorry it took so long to get back to you I had someone check and they found this link should complete the entire install of your drivers for your computer. If you have already found the solution then you can disregard this link. If not then this should be it.

Please post back and let me know if this helps you out...

 

I got this message:

Setup has detected that none of the chip sets supported by this install package are enabled on this system. The installation will be terminated.

:cry:cry:confused

 

I want to thank buggabear for all of his help!!! The only thing is, i am still unable to update the last 3 drivers!!:cry:cry:cry:confused

 

I'm at a loss why the last 3 drivers will not update, I went to hp site and and found the previous drivers I posted for you. I'm going to continue to research but I'm at this time at a lost.

Were you at least able to install the last set of drivers I posted for you about a week ago?

 

Ok!!! I got the 3???'s down to 1? using Drivermax. The only ? in my device manager now is PCI Simple Comm. Controller.:confused

 

you've gotten farther ahead then I have with your problem, I'm still at a loss why the drivers aren't working. I guess drivemax worked better for you then I did. i will continue to read to see why it is not installing, If you find a solution please post it. That way the next time I'll be better prepared to assist someone else with a similar problem

 

Hello

The only problem i am haveing now is , I just got new speakers but cannot get sound? I have run drivermax but it didnt help. The speakers are Phillips MMS171, 2.1

Any and all help is welcome.
Thanks in advance.

 

Its obvious that my mother board was meant to have vista on it. This is a new copy of xp , is there any way to use this xp software on my older PC and then i would buy a copy of vista for this pc? Will Microsoft let me change from the pc that i originaly loaded it on to the older one?

Thanks again.

 

Yes to the first question.
Now I have a question. your pc came with vista, do you have a restore partition on your computer or a system disk that came with your pc

 

I got the pc from a sams club as is! It was a return, i only payed $294.00. The thing is, it was returned with no hard drive/OS. So i bought a new HD and OS(xp) but the original HD/pc set up had vista on it.

What needs to be done as far as putting my xp on another pc and still get support from MS?

 

You will have to call MS and explain to them that you are installing the os on a different machine because it is not compatible with the one you tried to install it on. make sure you explain to them that it was completely removed from the previous machine, they should then give you a manual confirmation key to put in the other machine.

As far as the HP 8357c to order recovery disk you should go to that link indicated scroll down to the middle of the page and follow the instructions. It will probably be cheaper and it should have all the necessary drivers on the disk to get you running correctly.

 

Could someone take a look at this report and tell if there is a sound card installed?

Thanks:cry

 

Can anyone tell from the file that i posted below if my PC has a sound card or is it intergaded with the mother board?? Being on the PC with no sound is getting very very very old. If there is a sound card or if it is some how intergaded with the mother board, i may by windows ulimate .

 

Anyone have any info for me on this post?

Thanks

 

According to your post you needed Realtek drivers for your motherboard, if that is the case then your card should be realtek. Also according to your board there is a device that is requiring realtek HD drivers which leads me to think you have a card installed probably realtek. Hope this answers your question.

 

Yes, you have RealTek HD Audio, probably built-in to the motherboard. The driver is available here at Major Geeks. The PCI Simple Communication Controller is the dial-up modem. Chances are, you will never use it so you can either leave the driver uninstalled with no negative effects, open the PC and remove it, or you can use this driver from HP. You have to have the audio driver correctly installed first. Speaking of which, the speakers should be plugged in to the green jack on the back of the PC; it will be in the same panel as the keyboard and mouse ports.
:-D

I hope this helps!

 

HELLO I was wondering if anyone could help me i need a sound driver for an HP PAVILION DV1000 and dont know the best place to go and is it possible to get it for free as i would be very grateful...............

 

Sheba I think it may be possible but first you need to start a new thread that way the answers will be tailored to you and not the previous thread.
Second you will need to run and post an everest report so the people here can see what exactly your hardware setup is in your dv1000 here is the link for an everest report
