Installing Windows 7 proper drivers for HP 20 2303a

[cabrunco]

Dear all, I needed to install Windows 7 32bit on my HP 20 2303a in order to control a laboratory instrument which had this software controller that did not work on 64 bit systems. It is all good, except that I now cannot use some hardware elements, which need drivers:

Ethernet controller

Network controller

PCI device

PCI Encryption/Decription Controller

SM Bus Controller

Universal Serial Bus (USB) Controller

I must say that I tried linux (zorin 9 32 bit) and at least the wireless was recognized alright. So, I am sure it must be possible. Thank you very much,

Cabrunco

Hi:

See if these drivers work...

Chipset:  Install the 1st driver listed and reboot.  This would install the smbus and usb 3 controllers.

Graphics:  First driver on the list.  Install and reboot.

PCI Device:  1st driver on the list...

PCI Encryption/Decription Controller:  This driver has to be manually installed as follows...

Download and run this driver.

Then go to the device manager and click on the PCI Encryption/Decription Controller needing the driver.

Click on the driver tab.  Click on Update Driver.  Select the Browse my computer for driver software option, and browse to the driver folder that was created when you ran the file.

That folder will be located in C:\SWSetup\sp66974.

Make sure the Include Subfolders box is checked, and the driver should install.

Then reboot.
