I don't have the Recover CD and I can't find any neet bundle of
drivers for the HP Pavilion 8755C.

I'm down to needing the Audio driver.
I used to have a software tool that would run and give me an
inventory of all the hardware on the PC.

Anyone know of a good tool that will run on Win98 and find the
hardware so I can get the drivers?

Any help would be appreciated!!!


I suggest putting Windows 98SE on a virtual machine - VirtualBox is free.
That way you use the one machine you are used to and only bring up this OS
when you need it without taking down the other stuff, taking up more
physical space, etc.

As for the driver - go to the support web page?
http://h10025.www1.hp.com/ewfrf/wc/s... lang=en&cc=us

Although it seems to indicate the driver for the sound/etc is just
included with the OS (or unsupported.)

http://www.hp.com/#Support

Open the machine - see the sound chip make/model and look for that.

Or - just looking on the web page...
http://h10025.www1.hp.com/ewfrf/wc/d...&product=59776

Could lead you to driverguide.com for a proper driver download.
