video card drivers can't be installed

Lack of support for Pavilion dv6-2160em

It seems that that HP has not posted everything for this model.

Well, I'm from Europe, Croatia (not a member of EU, but next one to join).

First version, before installation was already installed when I bought my notebook. It had Aero. When I restarted them for the first time, they've crashed so I had to download iso image of Windows 7 Home Premium x64 and burned it. I've installed that version with serial number which is written on my laptop (on that Windows sticker) and there was no problems later except this one.

As I already said, if this problem could not be solved (easily) I can wait for a few weeks until I get recovery discs. I can postpone my gaming needs for some time. At least MS Office is working so I can do my college assignments...

And yeah, they've finally created a page for downloading drivers for my laptop

I've already installed those graphic drivers (still have all these problems). Intel Graphic Media driver can't be installed because "my computer does not meet minimum requirements for installing this software"

You're English is excellent! Better than half the people here in the state of Texas!

I noticed the video driver listed on the HP page is a GeForce 230M ! You told us a 320M, which is correct?

In which order did you install the drivers? It is usually best to install the chipset drivers first. There is 3 of them for your laptop, then the video drivers.

Did you update your BIOS, sometimes that may help.

This is the driver you need if indeed its a GeForce 230M video adapter:

Notebook Release 195

Version: 195.62 WHQL Release Date: 2009.12.04
Operating System: Windows 7 64-bit, Windows Vista 64-bit
Language: English (U.S.)
File Size: 144 MB


It supports the following video adapters for notebooks:

GeForce 200M series:
GT 230M, GT 240M, G210M, GTX 280M, GTX 260M, GT 220M

Click on the green DOWNLOAD button and it will take you to the nVidia download page for this driver.

Ok, I'll try that...

Thanks for compliments, in our educational system it's mandatory to learn at least one foreign language. We can choose between English, German or Italian (in coastal regions).

Also, try installing the Intel Graphic Media driver AFTER you've installed the GeForce driver. Then it may work properly.

Keep us posted.

Nope, still not working. I'm going to wait for the recovery discs and reinstall Windows properly.

Thanks everyone for help

No offense intended here toward anyone, especially nemes1s!

This thread is one of the MAIN reasons I always build my own computer systems!

1. You can select and combine the best hardware to fit your budget.
2. You KNOW what you're getting in advance.
3. You have the ability to read the various hardware reviews on the web and talk to friends on the forums to find out what is good and what isn't.

Now I know some people feel unsure or uncomfortable with building their own systems. That is perfectly fine. Believe me though, it is one of the easiest things you can do, it's all plug 'n play. If you can use a phillips screwdriver and read a motherboard manual, then you've basically got it licked.

However, sometimes the prices that these pre-built systems sell for is a very good deal, no matter how you look at it. There will always be that market niche for sure.

I'm stepping off the proverbial soap box now!
