HP WinPE 3 Driver Pack. Client Management Solutions - HP Client Windows PE 3 x86 and x64 Driver Pack. HP Notebook PCs - Driver for SM Bus Controller in Windows This document pertains to HP and Compaq Notebook computers. When you upgrade or change the Windows operating system to a different version of Windows than was originally installed on your computer, you may have an issue with the SM Bus Controller not installing correctly.

I just bought a brand new HP Pavilion G7-2325 Notebook, removed Windows 8 and installed Windows 7. On HP's website they only offer Windows 8 drivers. The problem is that not all of the Windows 8 drivers are compatible with Windows 7.

I'm still missing a working video card driver that support Aero along with an SM Bus Controller driver and USB Controller drivers. What can I do to fix this? Not having Windows 7 drivers on their site is ludicrous!

Shouldn't be a problem. HP's 'drivers' are usually just repackaged Intel or AMD.

If you go to Device Manager, go to the properties of each of your 'unknown' devices (yellow explamation mark.

Then go to the Details tab. Drop down the combo and select 'Hardware Ids'

You will see a list of mumbo jumbo numbers. This information is gold.

VEN_8086 means the device is Intel. But what you want is the SUBSYS number.

Search for it on google, and you'll easily find what needs to be downloaded.

Some downloads, like the appropriate Intel Chipsets download, should knock out the USB and SM Bus (off the top of my head)

Hello. I recently downgraded my HP Pavillion 500 (product # G5B59AV#ABA) PC desktop from windows 8.1 to windows 7. I was able to install the drivers that didn't work by web searching them. However my attempts to install the two USB Controller in the Other Devices tab of Computer Mangement has been problematic.

I go to hardware Ids and pull these up

PCIVEN_1022&DEV_7814&SUBSYS_2B17103C&REV_09
PCIVEN_1022&DEV_7814&SUBSYS_2B17103C
PCIVEN_1022&DEV_7814&CC_0C0330
PCIVEN_1022&DEV_7814&CC_0C03

I then search for the driver I need to install to fix this issue. But so far that many solutions I have looked up online have not helped me. I was led here by this forum post:http://answers.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/forum/windows_7-hardware/downgraded-hp-pavilion-touchsmart-all-in-one-pc/2f91c517-330e-4ade-ab60-5bb2b7e53e10?page=2

But still could not fix this issue. I have tried many attempts and downloaded and uninstalled AMB catalyst software many times. I would really like any other method someone can tell me with step by step instructions. A video would be nice but really just looking for something to finally fix this issue. The USB hubs on the front don't work and I would really like any method that could fix this.
