I run a few different HP / Compaq systems and have never run into this problem
0 Drivers available for this OS

the last time I had any problem with driver support
was trying to get the integrated Ethernet port to work on a Presario 6330
- though every other driver was available on the site

my oldest unit is a Compaq DeskPro XL 6150 PentiumPro 166MHz  from 1996

and all the drivers are still available on the site for it:

» Microsoft MS-DOS
» Microsoft Windows 2000
» Microsoft Windows 3.1
» Microsoft Windows 95
» Microsoft Windows 98
» Microsoft Windows NT 3.51
» Microsoft Windows NT 4.0
» OS/2

The drivers page for the EVO N150 (c. 2001) has nothing for win2K
only links to win98 / ME drivers are on the page

The sticker on the unit says:
Designed for MS
Win 2000

Win Me

I was searching last week, and found an old post asking why there were only win2K drivers on the site,

so I know they exist,  any ideas as to how to get at them?

I even found an online HP doc

with the following:

Compaq Portables preloaded with Windows XP:
(Evo Notebook N150, Evo Notebook N105, Evo Notebook N160, Evo Notebook N200, Evo Notebook N400c, Evo Notebook N600c, Presario 1700, Presario 2700xx, Presario 700xx)

any help / ideas would be great
even if it's just the SP------.exe numbers as I can get those from the FTP site
