0 Intel 82852/82855 Graphic Driver for Vista

Officially there are no drivers for intel 82852/82855 released for windows vista and windows 7. They are only available in windows XP. The trick that i always do with upgrading old models is install the XP driver in wndows vista using compatibility mode. Not only driver but this trick also work with windows 7.

1. Download the XP Driver form the manufacture (There are lower chance for the drievr to work if you download it from Intel).
example : Compaq V2000 Driver
(for compressed files, extract it first)

2. Right click on the driver select properties.

3. Select COMPATIBILITY.

4. Select run this program...'Windows XP'.

5. Right click again and select run as admin.

- no sata driver and slipstream needed


C: AMD CHIPSET-:
For any AMD model use the same sata driver (additinal sata driver link included in the DOC file.
Download sata driver: Download

ADDITIONAL NOTES:

 For Cq41 AMD base model if AMD sata AhCI above didnt work use this one:
Download AMD sata CQ41 (link dead will fix it later)
This sata upload by kiwielz which tested on his CQ41-110AU

For INTEL if you have problem with sata above u may try this sata:
SATA AHCI10 for intel base model:
Download  (link dead will fix it later)

Only some ACER model and other model beside COMPAQ/HP need to slipstream the sata Driver.

PLEASE DO CHECK IN YOU BIOS FIRST!
IF THERE IS SATA MODE OPTIONS, CHANGE FROM IDE TO AHCI.

If the process failed and you want to repeat please delete all previous folder and start over again with new folder.

0 Conextant Audio Driver For Windows 7 64-bit

This guide made generally for all model, but the drivers made mostly for HP/compaq model. So if you ask me will this work for other model, the answer is YES but you need to get permission from HP so that your action is LEGAL. I do not hold any responsibility if you do it illegally, this post intend to help people who upgrading to Windows 7 64 bit and for tutorial purpose.

INTRODUCTION. (IMPORTANT TO READ)

Normally, in my post i just give a driver, or a simple tutorial to solve the problems. But there are lots of email i received asking how did i understand and know the solution. So i think it is important to describe the way to understand how to solve this problem. I normally didn't want to write a post in details because i know my English not really good so i always keep it short to avoid grammatical error. But i don't want to disappoint those who asked me. So I apologize in advance for my poor English.

There are many type of conextant audio. The way to distingush between them is by the HARDWARE ID(if you dont know what the hardware ID is, don't worry you'll get to it later). By names there are many of it;
-conextant smart audio 221
-Conextant Ac-link Audio
-Conextant High definition Audio
-Conextant AC97 Audio
-Conextant venice Audio
-conexant cx20671 Audio
-conexant cx20561Audio
and there is lot more, i just make the list of the popular names around the net. (i think there are no need for you to know all the list unless you are in this field, just pm me).

So the conclusion is there are many names, but the one differentiate between them is the hardware ID. So lets continue with the Installation for your driver.

1. IDENTIFY YOUR HARDWARE ID.

1. First, to get the right drivers, you need the hardware ID. to get the hardware id you can refer to my tutorial here:
http://laptop-driver.blogspot.com/2009/12/how-to-check-hardware-id.html

2. After you get the hardware ID you will get the result like this(the numbers different base on your device):

PCI\VEN_1002&DEV_4370&SUBSYS_3091103C&REV_02

PCI\VEN_1002&DEV_4370&SUBSYS_3091103C

PCI\VEN_1002&DEV_4370&CC_040100
PCI\VEN_1002&DEV_4370&CC_0401

3. Ok, from that list, pay attention to the line that i highlight, that is the important line to determine the hardware ID.  Note first line just added the &REV_02 , this addition &REV_02 added because you are using windows 7. So this is the reason why if you install using the windows XP or windows Vista driver directly it will failed, if you install manually from device manager some may success some may not because both xp and vista file doesn't contain &REV_02.
 variation may exist such as &REV_03 etc.The last line 3 and 4, the important line here to note is the number 1002 and 4370, this number show that this is audio type and it is conextant.

How to know the number in hardware ID represent what?
well just google it, many website contain information and database for this driver. That is why sometime realtek AC97 driver can be use to install driver for conextant ac link97 because both share the same ID. Some driver may have one or two ID, but some drivers may contain 100's compatible ID.

II . GETTING THE RIGHT AUDIO DRIVER FOR 64 BIT.

Ok, after you get the hardware ID, compare with the ID i gave below. Download and install the driver. Note that to install it you need to extract the driver (make sure winrar installed).
After that open the extracted folder. Right click at the setup file (exe: UIU.exe etc; name varies) and select run as admin and restart after installation finish.

I : NOTES
1. I strongly recommend using windows XP Service pack 2 (SP2). However for SP3 there are patch for you guys so you do not have to revert back to SP2.
2. Make sure you already install the chipset Driver. If not get it here:

II. FILE AND DRIVER

1. MS-UAA(filename: KB888111xpsp2_en):
Windows XP SP2: Download (KB888111)
Windows XP SP3: Download (KB835221)
   for xp sp3 recomend to install this MS-UAA: Download
2. IDT High definition Audio: IDT 92HD75B1/92HD75B2 @ Intel 82801IB ICH9 : Download
3. Patch (For win XP SP3) : Download
4. WinRar : to extract the driver files : Download - and install (chose the free version)
