EDIT: the answer was the other posts in this topic: nowadays they tend to put a lot of drivers in one package (video, audio, chipset, SATA) and call it a suite; ATI does it, so why not Intel?

I believe it is likely because Intel peicemeals their hardware components out to ODMs (like Asus, MSI, custom shops) to build boards with their individual components (video, nic, chipset, etc) but all the nVidia and ATI boards I've seen usually contain everything together.

Hello and Happy New Year 2013 !

This idt hd audio codec should work as it also contains xp 32 bits drivers.

Yes, it works! Now the sound is OK. Thank you !

Did you installed the amd and intel hd video graphics drivers ?

I tried to install, from Intel and from AMD. I have AMD Radeon HD 7670M. Finally, the driver found doesn't work properly (see the capture).
For AMD Radeon HD 7600 Series:
PCI\VEN_1002&DEV_6840&SUBSYS_183E103C&REV_00
PCI\VEN_1002&DEV_6840&SUBSYS_183E103C
PCI\VEN_1002&DEV_6840&CC_030000
PCI\VEN_1002&DEV_6840&CC_0300

For the network, this one might work.

It doesn't work. I installed it, and a unknown device appeared. After trying to install the video graphics drivers, the unknown device dissapeared.

Built-in sound or soundcard?

Cheers and Regards

Hello
I'm not a specialist, but I think it is built-in.
Now is working fine.

Which amd driver did you try to install (post the link to the install package you used) ?
For the other network driver with the yellow mark, it might be a wireless one. Could you check its hardware id and post it ?
Also post the hardware id of the pci device.

I didn't find a package on AMD site.
From the following page I selected my product to find the package, and tried "Auto Detect and Install", but with no positive result.

http://support.amd.c...ages/index.aspx

Then (same page), I selected Latest AMD Catalist drivers for Radeon HD7000, HD6000 and HD5000 series for 32 bit Windows XP, which installed the AMD Radeon HD 7600M series, but it is not properly functioning.

Yes, indeed, the network by wire (cable with RJ45) is OK. The network controller (wireless) ID is :
PCI\VEN_14E4&DEV_4727&SUBSYS_1795103C&REV_01
PCI\VEN_14E4&DEV_4727&SUBSYS_1795103C
PCI\VEN_14E4&DEV_4727&CC_028000
PCI\VEN_14E4&DEV_4727&CC_0280

The hardware ID for the PCI device is:
PCI\VEN_10EC&DEV_5229&SUBSYS_183E103C&REV_01
PCI\VEN_10EC&DEV_5229&SUBSYS_183E103C
PCI\VEN_10EC&DEV_5229&CC_FF0000
PCI\VEN_10EC&DEV_5229&CC_FF00

Thank you,

The pci device is the realtek card reader and HP drivers for windows 7 x64 also contains the xp drivers.
The network adapter is a wifi broadcom adapter and again the HP drivers contains the XP drivers.
For the Amd driver, you need the one provided by Sp0iLedBrAt in this thread before your first post.

I already installed this software, AMD Catalyst Manager, which found the AMD Radeon HD 7600M series, but it is not properly functioning, it still has yellow mark.

Thank you,

This must be the one; if not, you have other issues not related to the right driver.

Cheers

EDIT: The Catalyst Manager and Control Center require .NET Framework 2.0. Try unpacking the file and installing through Device Manager (Update driver) by pointing to the folder with the .inf file. The path (out of memory) is ...\$_OUTDIR\Packages\Drivers\Display\XP_INF\
Next to the .inf file there should also be an .msi file and a .cat file (both with the same name as the .inf file), as well as a folder containing the driver files.

I just forgot really. You have a hybrid graphics notebook. While the drivers for desktop versions may install properly, the switching won't work as expected. You need to use the notebook specific video drivers, specifically the Intel one.

You will need the Intel Mobility drivers (post the HwID for it) as well as the possibility of needing the switching software unless you have a physical switch. Some early hybrid models required rebooting into the BIOS and changing a setting, and then booting back up into Windows to use the other adapter. Either that or there may be a physical switch and still require a reboot.

All the times I look up emachines e642g I find it has a different Radeon chip than you say it does.

[submix8c]

FYI - you're getting spoon-fed the correct drivers since the HP Specs page doesn't specify which piece of hardware has been put into it. Theoretically, you could have gotten them on your own because all of the Downloads are given off the links of this page (where I had looked in the first place). BUT... whatever - you're getting there!

You could maybe even install the Net Framework v1.1 to facilitate the installation of the Catalyst Software.

@Tripredacus - this is a different Member that inadvertently hijacked the thread (see link to the Notebook Model). No biggie, though...

Video Graphics - AMD Radeon HD 7670M (2 GB DDR3 dedicated)

AMD site specifically says Catalyst works on XP (see 2nd tab). Hmmm... This says

Quote

Windows Driver Model (WDM) drivers are no longer bundled in the AMD Catalyst software suite. The WDM drivers install bundle can be downloaded independently through the AMD website.

YOINKS! 7670M isn't listed!
AHHH!!! I found some "modded" ones here. Use at your own risk!

@Gabriel - Don't forget to say Thank You to the members for their efforts after everything is "working".

An added bonus: the last link that I provided DOES include WDM drivers! It's only a matter if they fit.

Hello,
Thank you all for your support.
I tried all the solutions mentioned above, even the "modded" ones, but it is still not working.
Possibly is not a driver problem. I receive error messages from the Catalyst (see captures), as:
"Catalyst Control Center cannot be started because the curently active GPU is not supported." I searched and found that some people fixed this problem with a BIOS setting, but I didn't find that option in my BIOS.
Best Regards, Gabriel

Who needs CCC? What is important is that you have installed drivers and your GPU is functioning correctly.
So, go ahead and remove that cr*p from Add/Remove Programs; I think it won't mess with drivers if you just choose CCC.

Cheers

More: it just occurred to me: does this error message occur when the ATI 7670m card is active? CCC is set to autostart on boot, so using the Intel card will throw this error, as "the currently used GPU is not supported".

Hello,
The problem isn't in fact the error messages from CCC, but the yellow mark of the Display Adapter. Possible that the CCC error message is only a consequence, I don't know. I removed CCC, and let the drivers. I have no more error messages, but the yellow mark is still there.

You show two different "Display Adapters", the Intel one and the AMD one. Are they both installed? Why? How, since this is a laptop? Assuming the Intel one is not used, disable it in the BIOS settings, if possible, or simply uninstall it, then AFAIK, it should no longer appear to Windows. At that point you can try to reinstall the AMD Radeon 7600, you might want to uninstall it first, and see if that fixes things. I suspect the two were interfering with each other. Either that, or I'm just totally confused.

Cheers and Regards

Sorry bphlpt but you're wrong it is a laptop with new intel cpu that also provide graphics capabilities.

Ok, time to go down Trip's path. Grab a camera/ cell phone, restart to BIOS and take screenshots of anything you think is relevant and post them here (or even better, upload them somewhere like dropbox and post the links).

OK well if we're back on this again, I doubt you'll find anything relevant in the BIOS. I may be able to find the appropriate drivers but since I'm all messed up with this thread, I need this info:
- model of notebook
- hardware ID of the Intel video device from Device Manager
- and may be helpful, the Code number reported in Device Manager for the ATI device that is flagged.
