Hi Guys,I hope you can help me, I was recently given an old Compaq CQ2000 with a dead hard drive.I replaced the hard drive and reinstalled windows.I installed the same version of windows that was previously installed on the machine. I installed it from an ISO mounted to a usb. ( windows 7 32bit)I then went to the HP/Compaq website and looked the machine up so i could download all of the necessary drivers.Here is the page with the drivers. -en/drivers/selfservice/compaq-cq2000-desktop-pc-series/3832626I put them on another USB then tried to install them on the CQ2000 but i keep getting the following error while installing the network driver and some others. Here are the other ones that i couldn't install. Any help or insight would be very much appreciated.Thank youJohn
thank you very much for the swift reply I really appreciate you helping me.I never knew there was a set order that i had to install the drivers. this could be the problem.I just tried to install them in the order that they downloaded.when i go to the windows 7 32bit option for the drivers I don't see any for the chipset I only see graphics, keyboard and sound?I might reinstall the OS again but this time I'll use the 64bit version as it seems to have more original drivers listed than the 32bit version.

I installed the 64bit version and downloaded all the drivers from the Driver - original section, I first installed the chipset driver and it installed perfect first time, so did a couple of others. but the Atheros LAN driver Or the Realtek network driver won't install it comes up with the same error message saying that it doesn't meet system requirements.The device manager only has to exclamation marks now, both of which are network related.
The Atheros driver on the 64bit original driver section from the HP/Compaq website is just coming up with the same error as before even though most of the other drivers have installed OK,When i google the hardware ID I can't find version for HP/compaq.The hardware ID is:
Thanks mate but i linked that page on my first post, I can't get them to work. When i try to install either the Realtek or the Atheros LAN drivers i get the same error. also I can't access that page on the PC I'm trying fix, because I can't get online as it has no network drivers. I'm having to download them on my main PC, put them on a USB then transfer them that way.thanks again for trying to help me
