HP COMPAQ Drivers

The following information is the one I got from HP Customer Service Executive recently, when I faced a problem with my laptop drivers for xp.

If you are facing the same problem, then don't waste your time by googling. I suggest you to directly contact one of the HP Customer executive through online chat provided in their HP Customer Support page and find an immediate solution for your problem. But for this you need to input some details regarding your laptop like serial no and product no and your details like chat name, email address etc.
