ok so seems i should have checked this before i got the thing, but its a really nice system and runs perfectly well how it is now.
but i do have a few un known things in my device manager.
one says simple pci communicaton device
the other says serial port.
now try as i might i cant find any drivers for this machine that works with windows 7 x64
i have tied vista 64 drivers but they are installer packages and say "os not supported" and close so i cant even manually install the driver files like that..
Ideally id like to get all the drivers for windows 7x64 for each specific item in the system.
the audio driver "im pretty sure is realtek" windows has installed its own basic sort of drivers which do provide sound but some of my apps cant see the sound card because all it installed was "high definition audio" usually you get codecs and other things installed at the same time "or atleast thats what device manager says"
i dont want to downgrade to vista x64 which to most people the reasons would be obvious.
i lose some functionality if i downgrade to xp x64
and windows 7 x86 would mean i lose most of my ram "6gb installed"
really would be nice if some one has had similar issues in the past and know of a way to work arround this.
Thanx in advanced. and if you cant help dont worry about it im sure il figuire something out eventually. i have bearly been trying for a day yet, i usually wouldnt cave in so fast and ask, but i would like to get it set up fully so i can install all my stuff and configure it how i want it to be.
edit..
fixed my audio issues now.
i found compatable x64 drivers form realtek them selfs, so all that is fine and working..
i still hp
however have the 2 un known devices listed in device manager.
