Unfortunately, I wouldn't know why that is happening.

 

I still recommend you try the W7 32 bit drivers from the HP 6910p notebook which has a lot of the same hardware as the HP 550.

 

Try the W7 touchpad driver from that model.

Hi:

 

HP only supported that model for XP and Vista.  That is why there are no W7 drivers.

 

If you want to use W7 32 or 64 bit, you should be able to use most of the the W7 drivers from the HP 6910p business notebook which has much of the same hardware.  Do not use any of the BIOS or firmware files.

But the graphics will not let me install on.Because when I turn on my laptop it will lower the resolution is only for Windows 7.
I downloaded the intel side to this flawed.

OK, then manually install the Vista 32 bit driver from your notebook's support page as follows...

 

Download and run this graphics driver.  You will most likely get an Unsupported Operating System error.

 

This package provides the graphics/video drivers for Intel 945GME Chipset in the supported notebook models and operating systems

 

ftp://ftp.hp.com/pub/softpaq/sp39501-40000/sp39558.exe

 

Close out of any error windows.

 

Go to the device manager and click to expand the Display adapters device manager category.

 

Click on the Standard VGA adapter listed there (or may be listed as a Video Controller in the Other Device category).

 

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 above graphics driver file.

 

That folder will be located in C:\SWSetup\sp39558.

 

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

 

Then restart the PC and the graphics should be working OK.
