Re: Driver problems when Installing Windows 7 on a Pavilion G6-2202ea

Hi:

All of the drivers from this model should have worked and you note the W7 graphics driver is the same one you tried.

DO NOT USE ANY BIOS OR FIRMWARE FILES

I recommend you reinstall W7.  You first need to install SP1 if you are installing an older version of W7 before you install any drivers.

You can get the SP1 standalone update from the link below, copy it to a flash drive and install on your PC.

You should install certain drivers in a specific order, and reboot after each installation.

Start with the Intel Chipset Installation Utility.

Then install the Intel graphics driver.

Then install the audio driver.

The other 2 devices you referenced have nothing to do with the graphics.

The ethernet controller is your wired network card and you can install this driver for that.

The PCI device is the card reader and you can install this driver for that one.

The standard VGA controller is your Intel graphics adapter needing a driver installed.
