Enter your model number in the search box and choose "Download drivers and software (and firmware)" and hit search.

I hope this helps.

You can run disk defragmenter. also run a virus scan. Also check the amount of ram you have installed. If its less than 1GB (1000MB) i suggest upgrading it.

Try installing the latest audio driver.
You can download the drivers from the Compaq/HP WEBsupport/download page. Make sure you
select your model laptop and the XP orVista Windows version of the drivers you require and install

1) First scan your system to determine which driver you need: http://h20270.www2.hp.com/ediags/gmn2/index.aspx?detectProducts=Start+Detection+%BB&lc=en&cc=us
2) Alternative free driver updater software, e.g. http://www.innovative-sol.com/drivermax/index.htm - let it scan and update all your missing drivers.
Official drivers are only for Windows 95 and 98: http://h10025.www1.hp.com/ewfrf/wc/softwareDownloadIndex?cc=us&lc=en&dlc=en&softwareitem=33530 (But it states on another website that it might also work on other versions of Windows - try it!)

you might need to reinstall the sound card driver
I would need the model of your computer to tell you what driver you need
here you can type the modem number and you can find the driver http://welcome.hp.com/country/us/en/support.html
