    I see what you're saying. Usually HP has a list of drivers to choose from, but for this model you're out of luck. Is there a sticker on the laptop that lists the manufacturer of the graphics card, such as ATI? If so, you might be able to install the driver from their website instead of HP's site.

    From what I can find, most of the ATI mobility drivers are designed for Windows XP. I did find an older catalyst version that claims to support all versions of Windows, but it doesn't specifically list your video card. I suppose you can try it and if it doesn't work then no big deal (link here).

    If you feel like trying Windows XP, here's the link for those drivers.
