Brightness change does not work in Windows 7 (HP 6730s )

‎09-10-2010 05:48 AM

I installed windows 7 on my hp 6730s notebook. After that I tried to install the most suitable driver from HP. When pressing fn+f8 or f7 the progress bar shows up at the bottom of my screen, but nothing changes (it stays at level zero).

 

In post http://h30434.www3.hp.com/t5/Display-and-video/cannot-change-screen-brightness/m-p/162406/highlight/... if found out that for some other laptop a driver from intel works better. Which driver must I use for my laptop?

in the device manager I found that I now have a display adapter called: Mobile Intel(R) express Chipset Family (Microsoft Corporation - WDDM 1.1). I tried to search for this and found a driver. I'm now trying it!

No, the Intel drivers did not help. They did no harm either, but the Fn problem is not solved yet. PLEASE HELP!
