    Hey guys,

    I have a Pavilion dv2810us with vista home...i upgraded it to vista business premium. I found few of the drivers are missing in this...

    - Coprocessors
    - Ehternet Controller
    - SM Bus Controller

    i tried looking in on HP website for the drivers but couldn't find any. Any help regarding this is appreciated.

    Thank you,

    Sam

    Did you ever backup the SWSetup folder or make recovery discs?

    Try going to Device Manager, right-click the device (which will hopefully have an exclamation point next to it or something), Properties, Drivers, Update Driver... and tell it to look for a driver on the internet.

    You are just missing the chipset drivers. Try this one...
