Driver downloads - Presario v6642em

Deadbeat · 12 Dec 2009 at 17:11

I reinstalled Vista x64 on my mother's laptop (thanks for the CD, ?Meatball), but I'm having issues obtaining drivers. I tried to download wireless/ethernet drivers from the HP website, but it seems all of their links are dead-ends once you get to the final driver download page. Even the ethernet drivers are missing from the install, which is weird, I'm sure they're normally fine after a fresh install. Is there anywhere else I can obtain the drivers? Does anyone know the specific drivers I need for the ethernet ports?

Have you tried Windows update? Don't think i have ever installed ethernet drivers separately before, they are always there in Windows Update.

No wireless drivers, no internet connection. No ethernet drivers, no LAN connection.

Ok, I'm sure it's not just me, but to make sure, would someone check out this HP link and see if they can download the driver? I'm getting nothing but 'unable to connect'

I don't know whatthe hell's going on, but my browser won't link to it - jst comes up with an empty screen, no pop-up download or anything. Maybe I'm not meant to have these drivers? Could you email them to me (in trust) if you get the chance? Cheers beermonster.
