    Hi,

    I need help in finding drivers for the Compaq Presario C713NR or C700 Series. Realistically, any series should be fine as long as the following XP drivers are available for download:

    1. Conexant High-Definition Audio Driver 4.23.0.0 A
    2. Intel Chipset Installation 8.3.1.1009
    3. Mobile Intel 965/960 Express Chipset Family Video/Graphics Driver 7.14.10.1283 A
    4. Broadcom Wireless Lan 6.0
    5. Realtek RTL8139/810x Family Fast Ethernet NIC Driver 6.103.0126.2007 A
    6. Intel SATA AHCI Controller Driver 7.6.0.1011
    7. WinFlash for HP Notebook System BIOS
    (for Notebooks with Intel Processors) - F.07

    Thank You & Best Regards.

    I wanted to get a Compaq Presario C713NR from Best Buy, but they were already sold out. But I did talk to a rep about the drivers. Here is his email on the drivers. Just follow the directions and you're good, it's very important thought to follow the directions the rep said:

    Thank you for contacting HP Total Care.

    As promised earlier, here is an E-Mail with all the drivers included.

    MS UAA (required with a reboot before Conexant):

    http://www.mediafire.com/?4ben9zlesng


    Conexant SmartAudio 221:

    http://www.mediafire.com/?dg0cmmkm4y4

    Unzip to a folder..make note of location.

    From Device Manager,right click "Audio Device on High Def Bus",choose Update driver,

    No to connect,

    Install from a list or specific location,

    Select Don't Search, I will choose the driver to install,

    For the Hardware Type select 'Show All Devices'

    Remove the check from "Show Compatible Hardware" and click on "Have Disk".

    Next...browse to the unzipped folder and choose the "WiSVHe5.inf".

    Ignore XP when it complains.

    Reboot.

    Dear Boxcomp,
    I just download the file from the link you posted. Thank You for the drivers and for your hard work. :)
    I do have 1 or 2 questions.
    1. are those drivers for the presario f700 because i have the presario f750ca
    2. would you have instructions on how to install these drivers i.e. which driver to install 1st and which driver goes in 2nd. the reason i ask this is because i read a few places that before installing the 56k modem i have to install that famous UAA. :confused: :confused:

    thank you again
    albertine
    xoxo
    P.S. if anyone reads this they can also reply or email me pleeeeeease
