    That works for me! I appreciate the help and I will be installing Windows 8 soon. It was just a little confusing about how I should go about a clean installation.

    Regarding the TV Tuner driver for Win8: I used the current published driver (sp45500.exe) and it's working fine on Win8 x64.

    sp45500 contains DriverVer=05/22/2009,1.0.64.61.

    The one published by Acer is older (2008), and specifically is: DriverVer=07/04/2008,1.0.64.46

    So download the one published by justin in the first page and you're good to go... ;)

    It doesnt do anything. When i "open it" then nothing happens. I've tried like 10 times atleast - thats why i posted the question to here first place...

    Another question: This is listed as dv6-2xxx BIOS and its 1year newer than that what is listed in the first post in this thread
    ftp://ftp.hp.com/pub/softpaq/sp54501-55000/sp54629.html

    or its not the correct for this laptop?

    When you execute it do you at least see the starting window hat tells you what softpaq it is, what version etc.? If you see that and you click next, all HP softpaqs first unpack the contents to c:\swsetup\softpaq#, under that directory you will find the actual drivers and inf files or a setup executable.

    If you execute it and nothing happens and you don't find a swsetup dir under the root of the system drive then it means that something on your pc is blocking the execution of that file. It could be the AV or something else...

    On my Win8 x64 system that file worked fine.

    Let me know and just in case I can extrapolate from the setup file the driver and inf files so you can at least update the driver manually like you did with the old acer driver.

    No, this is not the correct BIOS release for these notebook models. The one you referenced to is for the dv6-1XXX / dv7-2XXX series, not for the dv6-2XXX / dv7-3XXX series.

    If i download sp45500 and extract it (goes to c:\swsetup\sp45500) and then try to open A316A317A328A309_Win7Logo_Drv_V1004_Install_Silent_HP then nothing happens nomatter how many times i try.
    nothing is stopping it (AV or whatever). Can you upload the .inf for me? :)

    If i watch task manager same time i open it then i can see that the file is executed but it sais (32bit) and after 5-10 seconds it dissapears from task manager. maybe the problem is because of that?
    i got win8 64bit.

    Extract the file A316A317A328A309_Win7Logo_Drv_V1004_Install_Silent_HP.exe (it's an autoextracting zip) in a folder.

    Inside you'll find three exe files, one for each device (A309, A316-A317 and A328). You'll need to extract A309 setup file, you'll find two folders (Vista64 and Vista32), go into Vista64 folder and you'll find a setup.exe file; extract the setup.exe file once again and you'll find your .inf and driver files to be installed manually.

    In any case...there's something on your system blocking the execution of the setup executables, either it's the new Windows SmartScreen functionality of Win8 or your antivirus/antispyware software.

    Let me know if you solved...

    A few updates have been added to the first post.....will be adding a few more once I get around to them. :)

    Thanks to those of you who continue to contribute and post updates here!

    As some of you may have noticed, thread updates have slowed down significantly (this is partially due to my lack of available time unfortunately). I will be decommissioning some of the older driver threads soon, but I have not finalized which ones just yet. This thread has been up since 2009 and it's great to see that some of you are still expressing an interest in it! This may very well affect what I intend to decommission... :)

    After updated chipset driver v9.4.0.1017. All of my USB ports stop working. Googled it but none of the solutions are working (uninstall USB hubs, reboot, etc...). I reformat my laptop and do the W8 installation fresh, installed v9.4.0.1017 still not working. I came down to this last page and found v9.4.0.1026, installed with -overall... but still no luck. When I tried to install the Intel Rapid Storage Technology, got error "This platform is not supported". I'm running HDX16 with W8 x64. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

    Thanks, what version is best to use? Because I installed chipset driver 9.3.0.1026 could get the Intel Rapid Storage Technology running but my USB drives are still not working properly. I have to have a jump drive plugged in and reboot the laptop for it to be detected. Help!

    My scrolling on the touchpad started getting flaky after I uninstalled the SmartMenu software. Does this have anything to do with the touchpad? On an HDX16 btw. Also, does anyone know if the Synaptics software on page one lets you just install the driver and not the software?

    • Updated: Synaptics TouchPad / ClickPad driver, version 17.0.16.1 (sp64520) - (thanks TheBigOne).
    • Updated: Synaptics TouchPad / ClickPad driver, version 18.0.1.32 (sp64975) - (thanks ricktendo64).

    I'll update the wireless LAN drivers sometime this week. They are a bit of a pain to manage across all of the driver threads, so I'm going to set some dedicated time a bit later to get these up-to-date.

    I'm holding off on this driver because it does not have WHQL certification. Will update once a newer driver with WHQL certification is released.

    Thanks for the repeated reminders! :)
