Product: g4-2149se (Butterfly Blossom )
Operating System: Microsoft Windows 7 (32-bit)

Trying to fix my mother's laptop.  She took in to have something done/fixed.  I am not sure what the problem was that caused he to take it in and not going to keep asking her.  I have discovered several drivers are not installed and believe adding them will make it operational.   Let me add a couple thing I have discovered  before going any further: 

1.  .  The windows sticker on the bottom reads Windows Home Premium  and the HP specs for this computer say it is a 64 bit machine.  When I look at Computer properties  it says the OS (operating system)  is  Windows 7 Professional, Service pack 1  32 bit so evidently she paid to have the operating system changed. Not sure why, just the way it is.

2.  USB won't read a thumb drive due to missing drivers so I am wondering how to install  whatever drivers you point me to.  I suspect I can used the DVD drive as it still apprears to be working.  At least it reads the contents of an inserted disc.  

3.  I looked on the HP driver download page and there are no drivers available for this machine. 

4.  While reviewing the sysem I came upon a couple of references to old Windows files under Computer\Local Disc (C).  These files were named: Windows, Windows.old, Windows.old.000, Windows.old.001 and Windows.old.002,

 

So on to the problem.  The laptop now it will NOT connect to web via ethernet or wifi as drivers are missing.  HP driver download page has nothing available for this model number B5R68UA#ABA, G4-2149SE.  I reviewed a numberof archived posts and saw where this forum was able to advise owners where to find needed drivers.  I saw you need certain Hardware ID information to identify the proper drivers so am providing that now.  One last question, do the Windows.old  represent attempts to change the operation system and if these are reversable would this be an easier way to proceed? . Thank you in advance for your assistance.

Hi, John:

 

Below are the links to the drivers you need.

 

1st install the smbus controller driver.  I have zipped it up and attached it below.  You have to manually install it as follows...

 

Download and unzip the file to its folder.  Do not do anything with the files in the folder.

 

Go to the device manager, click on the smbus 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 you unzipped.  Make sure the Include Subfolders box is checked, and the driver should install .  Then restart the PC.

No doubt you are also missing the 32 bit graphics driver...scroll down the page, select the W7 32 bit Cataylist Software Suite.

You can delete all of those windows.old folders if you have determined your mother does not need any of the files in those folders from her old user profiles.

 

Run the disk cleanup utility>click on the cleanup system files button.
