Here is my initial suggestion windows 7 driver for this model, so your feedback are really important to help me get the appropriate drivers.
CHIPSET:
(I'm not sure if this needed but i believe it use nvidia chipset)
NVIDIA nForce 650i Chipset Driver
Download
or use your original chipset drivers: Download
or vista drivers:
GRAPHIC:
NVIDIA GeForce Go 6150 Graphics Driver
NVIDIA GeForce 7150M Graphics Driver
Download
If failed
Try your windows Vista drivers:
ftp://ftp.hp.com/pub/softpaq/sp38001-38500/sp38221.exe
Install it and if failed ignore it. We just want to extract the driver.
Open device manager (click start and type DEVMGMT.MSC on the search box and press enter)
Under Graphic Adapter it will show Standard VGA - right click and select UPDATE DRIVER - Select BROWSE MY COMPUTER FOR DRIVER SOFTWARE - Then click BROWSE and point to C:\SWsetup\SP38221 and select the inf file - continue with on screen instruction and reboot).
