Compaq Presario V3715AU

Nowadays, if you are choosing a laptop with Freedos preinstalled, be extra careful as later you could end up like me; still trying to install Windows XP until the next morning in the office. I've just realised that most (not all) laptops are Windows Vista certified but not backward compatible with Windows XP. As many people still opt to use XP as it is still very comfortable and familiar to use than Vista with a lot of craps.

If you accidentally bought Presario V3715AU (priced at RM2599), you can find XP drivers in the Presario V6000Z CTO Notebook PC. I was lucky enough to Google it and reached  http://jinxinlove.blogspot.com/ ... and I was lucky enough to find that that guy just updated his blog just an hour before I have successfully installed the working XP driver for this %&#*%&#* laptop.

Actually the Conexant HD audio 221 is the culprit who does not be able to produce sound and the Ms Universal Audio Architecture version is incorrect.

Related Softpaq: SP34200.exe (audio) and SP33867.exe (uua) 

Problem solved. To find out the stability and drawbacks .... later

Time to sleep, at least for now ... 5:14am

Hi,

I saw the blog that you successfully install the sound. May I know how you did it? I used the same set of the driver according to http://jinxinlove.blogspot.com/ but the mic and the sound control is not working. Need your advice.

Thanks you very much!

Mic won't work. I can't help you with that.

But sound control should work.
