    Do you have the SWSetup folder that originally got from HP? It contains all the drivers. You could try going to

    http://www.laptopvideo2go.com/

    It is a reliable site to locate and upgrade your video drivers. Check it out and report back if you still have problems.

    I hope this works. If it doesn't we know for sure that the drivers aren't the reason. I have heard that nvidia site drivers don't always work. So trying this out would be your best bet.

    download the modded INF, beside the driver download button, and replace the INF that comes with the Nvidia drivers with that one.

    the drivers are meant for desktops, so we have to mod it to make it work for laptops.

    Hello Terrance,
    I recently purchased the same machine you have. Have you noticed that when you play a movie in quickplay or windows media player and then do something else like play solitaire the movie slows down or becomes choppy?
    Thanks
