David:
Thank you for the reply!!. It worked like a charm.
I have some additional concerns I am sure you can help me solve, if you're willing to take a few moments.
I installed a new hard drive on my Pavilion DV7-4270us running Windows 7 64 bit.
I installed Windows 7 from an iso file and did not install any additional software or drivers that came with the pc when it was new.The rescue disks did not work for one reason or another on a new and somewhat smaller hard drive( 500GB now vs. 640 GB previous). I have slowly added the drivers and software I wanted from HP Download Center.
HP Media Smart, HP Simple Pass Fingerprint Reader and HP Power Manager will not work. I believe I've downloaded everything needed.
Maybe they need to be executed somehow like the IDT Audio Driver was done, or edit the registry to make them work. I am just guessing here.
If you care to offer help and guidance, I would really appreciate it!!!
Thank you,
Ken
