Paul,

My laptop is G6-1d60us http://support.hp.com/us-en/document/c03136766

You mean, I should just forget about the first link you sent me? Only install the rest of them?

[stao]

Paul,

So I installed all the links except the first one. The AMD Catalyst Install Manager said " The AMD VISION Engineer Control Center is not supported by the driver version of your enabled graphics adapter. Please update your AMD graphics driver, or enable your AMD adapter using the Displays Manger. " Do you know what it means?

Hi:

No, I don't.

Do you know if your notebook has switchable graphics?

I would read this and see if it does. If it does, then you may just have to enable the AMD graphics by following the instructions.

Oh, my gosh, I got everything fixed now, including SM Bus Controller!

I googled the id string under description as you said, and found it on  driveridentifier.com

Thank you very much!!

Hello, I got an HP Pavilion g6-1c35dx. It got a virus and the only solution I can think of was reformatting it, so I did. Problem is, all the drivers are gone, cannot connect to the internet at all. I downloaded drivers and all, but it won't work? What do I do? 

Please, please, please help me...

Hi, cathmeow:

Please go to the device manager and see if there are any devices listed with a little yellow ! mark.

Those are the devices that still need to have hardware drivers installed.

If you have any like those, please click on each one of them one at a time.

Then click on the details tab.

You will now see a Properties drop down list. Drop down on that and select the second item (Hardware ID's).

Post the top string of characters you see in the window. Those will identify the type and model of the devices and I can send you the links to the drivers you need.

If all of the drivers are installed then please go to the device manager and click on the Network adapters section. Post the full name and model number of your wireless adapter.

Paul

Paul,

Omg you are amazing. But how did you know? It did came with Home Premium, though when I reformat, I used Ultimate. Will those still work or I should reformat again to Home Premium?

And by the way, you are amazing and many thanks for helping me!
