Kotuku Posted October 13, 2008 Share Posted October 13, 2008 Go to the UK HP Web site (before you do the re-install) and put your Model number in and then download what drivers you are missing. If you have an internet connection while you are doing the Install, Vista will go and find most drivers (certainly enough to get started) and you can then install specific MoBo drivers etc. afterwards. Don't have any peripherals like printers, cameras etc plugged in for the new install, do them one at a time when all is running OK. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kotuku Posted October 14, 2008 Share Posted October 14, 2008 The Lite version will be the Free version that came originally with the machine (my guess) and that will work OK with Vista and I suspect all you need. The other version is liable to be the full retail, version and will ask you to pay for it after a short while. If your needs are for a full version of Nero, then I believe there is a v8.xx out, so buy that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
