I need drivers after reinstalling XP - Compaq Evo D500 PC Desktop. HP Compaq Evo Notebook N600c. I have recently reinstalled windows xp on a compaq evo d510s seem to have lost all the drivers and the graphics seem to be larger than they should ie desktop any idea where i can find the missing drivers for this and is the graphics driver.

Finding the right notebook

After concluding that I would do well to purchase a laptop for law school, the question remained: 'Which one?' I knew that I wanted the new Intel Pentium-M processor, part of their much-advertised 'Centrino' mobile technology. The advantages over the Pentium 4 are greatly decreased battery consumption, cooler running temperatures and smaller, lighter-weight designs, all while maintaining comparable performance. The only downside was the price.

The notebook universally recommended to me was the IBM ThinkPad T40, a sweet Pentium-M machine that boasted sturdy design, fast performance, the best battery life of any 'M' notebook yet reviewed, all under 5 lb. The big problem with the T40 is the screen, or more precisely, what screens are available on their different T40 submodels. In order to get the SXGA+ screen I so strongly desired I had to get the highest-end T40, priced at $3149. IBM has since started to offer the higher resolution LCDs on some lower-priced preconfigured models, but at the time that was the minimum I would have to pay IBM in order to get a T40 without opting for the lower resolution screen. I decided to look around. One company that had not been mentioned at all to me as a possibility was Compaq. Their lackluster record in building computers that would meet the standards of your typical Ars reader suggested that they had little to offer, but I decided that it wouldn't hurt to look. Lo and behold, I found one I liked and bought it. Let's take a look at what I got for my hard-earned cash . . .

Features

Here's the configuration of the review unit:

• Pentium-M (Banias) CPU 1.6GHz
• 512MB DDR-SDRAM (1 x 512MB, upgradeable to a max of 2GB via 2 x 1GB DDR modules)
• Toshiba 60GB 5400 rpm HDD
• 14.1' SXGA (1400 x 1050) display
• ATI Radeon Mobility 7500 chipset with 32MB of dedicated DDR video memory
• Broadcom NetXtreme 1000/100/10 Gigabit Ethernet
• Compaq 802.11b Multiport module (Agere chipset)
• DVD/CD-RW and additional Multibay LiIon battery.

Rear view

The machine has two PCMCIA (PCCard) Type II (1 Type III) slots on the left side. On the right is the slot for the standard laptop lock, an RJ-11 jack for the modem, and the Multibay which is home to your optical drive, secondary battery, secondary hard drive or a filler panel if you simply must shave off the ounces. In the rear you have the standard fare for a business-class notebook: 1 parallel port, 1 serial port, 1 RJ-45 jack for the gigabit Ethernet, 2 USB 2.0 ports, 1 PS/2 port, 1 VGA-out, 1 S-video-out, and AC power. At this point, Compaq could easily do away with the parallel and serial ports in favor of another USB and maybe even a Firewire port, but I understand that this is a business-oriented machine and that some companies still require legacy interfaces. It would have been nice for Compaq to offer a legacy-free model for the rest of us who have transitioned completely to today's superior interfaces. Also of note is that the Evo N6xx series has a standard docking-station port on the bottom of the unit for use with the appropriate dock from Compaq, should you so desire. While docking stations are virtually extinct in retail notebooks, they are still a tool that some businesses and users still like, and Compaq made sure this Evo would fit in next to the rest of the family.

The Evo makes use of the Synaptics dual-pointing-device setup, with a touchpad and pointer-stick. I prefer the stick, so this was a must-have in my shopping for a notebook. Both the pad and the stick are pleasant to use and easily adjustable using the preloaded driver software. Keyboard layout is satisfactory to me. Unlike the IBM T40, the Evo has a Windows key right where it's supposed to be between the Ctrl and Alt keys. The keys are of adequate size and have a firm, not squishy feel (those of you who have ever typed on your typical Sony Vaio for long periods of time know what I mean by 'squishy'), and a nice deep stroke to them so as to be quite comfortable to me for quick and easy typing. I can touch-type fairly well on this keyboard with a minimum of errors relative to my full-size desktop keyboard, so it passes muster. Those of you who like the ThinkPad's keyboard light will be disappointed as you won't find one on the Evo, so you may want to invest in one of those inexpensive USB lights.

Top view

Speakers are located to the top of the keyboard, and offer your typical lackluster sound. I don't really expect much from laptop speakers, particularly in so-called business notebooks, so I don't count this against Compaq. The best speakers in a laptop I've ever heard are from the higher-end Toshiba Satellite series with the Harmon/Kardon systems, and these don't compare. Don't worry though ? on the front edge of the laptop you have a standard headphone jack, as well as a microphone jack, volume control buttons and an array of status indicator lights.

For software I ordered it quite bare. The machine came preloaded with Windows XP Professional SP1 (which I quickly patched up), the Agere/Compaq wireless diagnostic software, and HP's Mobile Printing software. The printing software I have not used, but the WiFi tools are exceptionally informative and user-friendly.
