Hi:

HP never supported that model for W7, so you would have to use the Vista drivers.

HP retired support for that model series since it is more than 10 years old.

Here is the W7 wifi driver you need from a newer model notebook.

This package contains the Broadcom Wireless LAN Drivers that are required to enable the integrated Broadcom Wireless LAN Adapter in supported notebook models that are running a supported operating system.

Here is the link to the W7 quick launch buttons driver.

This package contains the software that enables the HP Quick Launch Buttons, which are special function keys on HP Notebooks. This software works with supported notebook models that are running a supported operating system.

This is a trusted site to download the drivers for your notebook.  DO NOT attempt to update the BIOS or you will brick the notebook when running W7.  You can only update the BIOS when running Vista or XP.

You will need to manually install the graphics driver.
