missing coprocessor driver for HP Pav dv6700 entertainment pc [ Edited ]

[Ishish]

Hi all.. I know there have been multiple posts about this issue with windows 7 but i'm a noob and need a direct link to where I can download the coprocessor driver for my HP Pav dv6700 entertainment pc. All I can tell you other than the driver is missing is that this runs on a AMD 64 Athlon X2 processor.

Hope someone can help

Thanks in advance

PS - also I would like to know what it means if I cant upgrade this driver... I can see under Processor that there are two items AMD 64 dual core blah blah that have no issues.. what does this coprocessor do exactly?

Thanks for the quick reply.. however I have already looked on hps site under the model and the only chipset driver is Intel..as this processor is AMD I was unsure if I should download that chipset.. Can you confirm?

Write down Your p/n number which is under Your computer and looks like this.

Oops.. told you i was a noob *LOL* I looked at the wrong label on the bottom of the pc.. the actual model was wrong too.. DV6768eo  anyway thanks to you I found the product number, installed the nvidia chipset and the coprocessor error in DM has disappeared. Thanks so much for your patience.

Can't find any chipset drivers for my system on HP's site, nor NVIDIA's site.  Have display adapters for NVIDIA GeForce 7150 M, but no drivers for the corresponding nForce 630M chipset.  

Do you have a link?

(Have read your particular responses in HP and Win7 forums extensively.  Thank you!)

@close18,

Hi,

Install HP Vista chipset driver for Your model to solve problem with coprocessor:

NVIDIA Chipset Driver here (Install this and restart Your system)

When there will be some kind of problems with installation then try to run it in Vista compatibility mode.

Daniel, thanks for the prompt reply.  Went ahead and d/l'ed and installed the chipset drivers, and still have the coprocessor listed under "other devices" with a yellow exclamation mark.  ;

Reboot Your system.

Regardless your support is appreciated.
