If you go to
www.hp.com and click the link for driver &
software downloads, then you can enter the model number of
the computer and find downloads for manuals, drivers and
such for the model.
Usually, software is bundled to match the hardware as sold.
Often it is basic applications, sometimes it is a full
version of the retail software as a time-limited demo.
You can also find drivers for hardware at
www.driverguide.com
Upgrading the OS on a laptop can be problematic because the
motherboards and some components are not standard items, but
custom for each model. Some things are only available from
the mfg'r (HP)and if they don't offer an updated driver you
can be out of luck.
Post your model number and you might get better advice.

| No, all she had was what came with the computer.
| I "assumed" it was a part of Windows Me. Now, you're
