HP pavillion dv7-1245dx downgrade drivers

Hi this is my first post and i'd like to ask for help on getting drivers.

I currently bought this laptop after working at $8/hr at a
construction job so i feel that i've earned it(i'm under aged but
still can legaly work) after having to deal with sharing a desktop
with three other people. I don't know a whole lot about computers but
i know enough that i don't require proffesional help(the geek squad)
to install what i need. I thought i could deal with vista and it's
problems but i soon grew very tired of having to deal with it so i
decided to downgrade to windows 64 bit that i got off from a friend
that works on computers at my school. I got to the point where i
installed windows with sata suport but i hit a dead end, no matter how
hard i look i can't find most of it's drivers but i found support for
windows for windows 32 bit. The only problem is that i can no longer use the speakers nor the headphone jacks even though i've tried a multitude of things, and i've checked other support sites and most others are having the same problem.

Please, if there's anyone that can help me find the sound drivers for the 32bit windows i'm sure that me and everyone else that googles the laptop's ID will thank you infinitismaly!

If you can find all the drivers for the 64bit version i'll consider you a demi god...

Run a scan and post the results URL; I'll see if there are 64-bit compatible drivers for your hardware.

Here is the driveragent scan you asked for. All i'm really looking for is the sound driver for the 32-bit.

Where did you find all the drivers? Were they for 32-bit or 64-bit?

thanks

Re: HP pavillion dv7-1245dx downgrade drivers

maybe you should consider transfering to a 32 bit OS, maybe Windows XP 32 bit... unless you have 4GB of RAM (or more) and want all of the available memory to be read by the OS... other than that, i don't see any other reason why you should stick to the 64 bit OS...
