    Hi,

    I just acquired a brand new 8560w to replace my 8540p and I am having an issue with the HP Software Setup program. I am quite familiar with this program as I used to install drivers through this one on my previous laptop.

    So here is my problem, when I first started HP Software Setup on my new laptop (the pre-installed version, not from the CD), I noticed there was a new button "Check for Software Updates". This is pretty handy as it relieves you from the pain of searching for updates from HP website and install them all manually, one by one. I thought it was a new feature.

    Unfortunately, when I made my own fresh install of Windows 7, therefore erased my hard drive, I realised that the HP Software Setup from the CD did not had this new feature... Now it is gone and I can't find it from HP website. This is quite a shame that this software is not made available for download because it would make everyone life's simpler when it comes to grab updates from HP.

    So does anybody knows where I could get this version of HP Software Setup or is there somebody that could send it to me? Thanks.
