Hi:

 

Manually install the W7 ATI graphics driver from your notebook's support page.

 

Here are the instructions for installing the 64 bit driver...

 

Download and save, but do not run this W7 graphics driver from your notebook's support page.

 

http://ftp.hp.com/pub/softpaq/sp46001-46500/sp46004.exe

 

Then download and install this free file utility.  Choose the 32 or 64 bit program as applicable.

 

http://www.7-zip.org/

 

After you install 7-Zip, right click on the W7 graphics driver file you saved.

 

Have 7-Zip Extract to: and let it extract the file into its folder name (sp46004).

 

Once that is done, go to the device manager, click to expand the Display Adapters device manager category.

 

Click on the Microsoft Basic Display Adapter.   Click on the driver tab.  Click on Update Driver.

 

Select the Browse my computer for driver software option, and then at the bottom of that window, select the Let me pick from a list of device drivers on my computer.

 

Click on Have Disk, and browse to the driver folder 7-Zip created>Packages>Drivers>Display>LH6A_INF>CH_84776 (setup information file), select the ATI Mobility Radeon X2300 graphics adapter from the list, and the driver should install.

Then restart the PC.

 

For W8 32 bit, follow the above instructions, but instead browse to the LH_INF folder and continue from there.

Just wanted to add my thanks for this. I decided to reinstall Windows 10 back on this old trusty laptop and couldn't remember whether the Ati driver would work or not. 

 

Does anyone else know if it's possible to get the trackpad to do two finger scrolling? I think I remember doing something in the past to enable that through the synaptics trackpad driver but couldn't remember if it was this laptop or another old one. 

 

Can't believe I've now had this laptop for over ten years and it's still going strong. Although almost every component has been swapped out by this point so not many original parts remain it still feels like the same machine!

Thank you very much. It really worked
