Microsoft Windows 7 (32-bit)

Hi! I've installed Windows 7 on my old HP Pavilion 15-b153er Sleekbook, but the system couldn't find some drivers. I've tried some but they didn't work.

Please help me find the correct drivers.

Hi:

 

You need these drivers...

 

First install the driver for the smbus controller and restart the PC.

I forgot to ask you to post the ID for the Unknown device.

 

So after you get these drivers installed, please post the hardware ID for the unknown device, and I will give you the driver for that one too.

Hi:

 

What model Intel processor does your notebook have?

 

Please post the hardware ID for the Network Controller device in your screenshot, so I can give you the right wifi driver you need for it.

 

Use this guide to find the hardware ID for a device...

If the SMBus controller device is no longer showing up, then the Intel chipset driver did its job.

 

 

HP Recommended

Yeah, everything is working now!

Thank you very-very much!!

 

HP Recommended

Anytime.

 

Glad to have been of assistance.
