TheHP Driver Packs contain the Microsoft Windows drivers in .INF-based installation format. This INF installation method can be used standalone or with bare-metal operating system deployment tools that require .INF-based drivers. Select 32-bit or 64-bit to see a list of platforms (notebooks and tablets, workstations, and desktops) and the respective driver packs under the operating system.

I bought a Sony Vaio VGN-FZ50B notebook in Japan about 5 years ago. About a year ago I updated my operating system to windows 7, but I couldn't find a version of drivers for my graphics card for my laptop which would support windows 7. So I searched for drivers for windows 7 for a notebook with the same graphics card as mine and I found one and I installed its drivers. Now for the most time it works correctly, but sometimes when I watch videos it will suddenly send my notebook to the blue screen of death(BSoD).


Instead I thought of this hypothetical solution: Since I am not using graphics intensive applications other than watching online videos, what if I disable graphics card drivers and instead use CPU for graphic processing?But for this to be possible several things must be true, which are:

1) My CPU must be able to process graphics(perhaps having some kind of internal graphics processing unit)

2) I must know how to disable graphics drivers and switch to CPU for processing.


Check out nVidia driver is not installed for x64 Windows 7 (Vaio VGN-SZ460N) and Video drivers for VAIO on Windows 7 (amongst others) to get an idea as to your choices for dealing with newer drivers for "Mobile" graphics when there's no OEM support for the newer version of Windows.


You will need the graphics card to boot (because the POST will fail without it), but Microsoft has developed a utility they call Windows Advanced Rasterization Platform (WARP) to use the CPU as the graphics engine.
