Hi,Check with Compaq Support, their on-line documentation and drivers, and ask in their forums.Other good sources are the actual device makers such as Intel, ATI, Nvidia, RealTek, or whoeveris the OEM device maker.Compaq - Support, Drivers, and on-line documentationCompaq (HP) - Forums This utility makes it easy to see which versions are loaded:DriverView - Free - utility displays the list of all device drivers currently loaded on your system. Foreach driver in the list, additional useful information is displayed: load address of the driver, description,version, product name, company that created the driver, and more.For Drivers check System Maker as fallbacks and Device Maker's which are the most current.Control Panel - Device Manager - Display Adapter - write down the make and complete model ofyour video adapter - double click - Driver's tab - write down the version info. Now click UPdate Driver(this may not do anything as MS is far behind certifying drivers) - then Right Click - Uninstall - REBOOTthis will refresh the driver stack.Repeat that for Network - Network Card (NIC), Wifi, Sound, Mouse and Keyboard if 3rd party withtheir own software and drivers and any other major device drivers you have.Now go to System Maker's site (Dell, HP, Toshiba as examples) (as rollback) and then Device Maker'ssite (Realtek, Intel, Nvidia, ATI as examples) and get their latest versions.

Jul 7, 2010I have a Compaq Presario SR1930NX, it previously belonged to my brother and when I recieved it it was a virus addled mess. Luckily, or so I thought, it had a recovery partition. The problem was I did not know how to use it.In my searches I found this forum, and specifically this thread, with this knowledge I went back to my computer and started it up. I tried both F10 and F11, I can't remember which but one did nothing and the other sent me to the standard BIOS menu that I could reach by hitting Esc.
Is there some kind of BIOS update I need to run to fix this? Or am I just hosed and have to shell out money to try and get a recovery disc? Mar 11, 2007I tried connecting a new HP printer to my Compaq Presario 6400NX. After several sessions with HP tech support they decided the problem was with the OS and we tried to recover XP from the boot partition or from the hard drive.
That failed so HP sent me the 5 CD recovery set and I tried recovering the system. During the recovery process several different messages popped up including, missing files, files that could not be recovered and cannot open database. During another session with HP tech support we erased the hard drive and tried again.
They decided the CDs that they sent were defective so they sent me another set. Again I tried to do the recovery and I once again got the same 'error' messages and eventually the recovery failed after the system rebooted. After several hours it gives an error message that the recovery failed. Nov 3, 2008I was wondering how to create a reformat disk for a compaq presario SR2013WM.
