Need drivers for retired product

[TechRun]

Hello. I'd like to start by saying that HP has made it needlessly complicated to download drivers for retired products. This is very frusturating for someone like myself who works on many different computers. If there is an easy method for doing this, I would love to know about it.

Anyway, I need a few drivers for an HP Pavilion tx1000 system running Windows 7 64-bit. Here is a list of the ones I need:

Video:
PCI\VEN_10DE&DEV_0244&SUBSYS_30BF103C&REV_A2

Coprocessor:
PCI\VEN_10DE&DEV_0271&SUBSYS_30BF103C&REV_A3

Fingerprint Sensor:
USB\VID_08FF&PID_1600&REV_0<10

Unknown device:
ACPI\HPQ0006

Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance.

Can't vouch for it but the downloads at this site seem to be legit. Download and scan them with an AV to be sure:

These are Vista drivers but will work for Windows 7. You may need to install in compatibility mode.

Hi, @TechRun

Here are the official drivers from the HP FTP site...

Video:  This has to be manually installed.

ftp://ftp.hp.com/pub/softpaq/sp42501-43000/sp42635.exe

Run the file.  You will most likely get an unsupported operating system error.

Close out of any error windows.

Go to the device manager and click on the video 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\sp42635.

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

Then restart the PC.

Unknown device:  This is the W7 driver for that device...

Thank you very much for both of your help!  The drivers from that website did help, as did the ones from HP's FTP server. I really appreciate it.
