HP Pavilion Dv6000 (dv6226us) drivers for Windows XP

[gusterbrown]

Hello, I have downgraded my HP Pavilion dv6000 (sticker dv6226us) from vista to xp. But learned I can't get the display or networking drivers to work (trying the vista ones). Can anyone supply me with the drivers for it? 

Thanks - Guster

Hi:

Below is the link to the WXP Wi-Fi driver you need for your notebook:

Broadcom Wireless LAN Driver

Below is the link to the XP graphics driver:

Intel 945GM Video Driver for Microsoft Windows 2000/XP

Hello, Sorry but neither worked the display/graphics drivers say "This computer does not meet the minimum requirements for installing the software. Setup will exit." the network drivers install with no errors but the device manager doesn't recognize it and it doesn't work.

Thanks - Guster

Interesting...

The parts list indicates the notebook comes with the Intel graphics adapter and a Broadcom Wi-Fi card, which I obtained from a similarly equipped HP business class notebook.

Since HP has retired support for that model PC several years ago, the only other suggestion I can offer would be to use the XP drivers from this reputable 3rd party website.
