Wireless Technology Hardware Problem

Cannot Install this Hardware

The hardware was not installed because the wizard cannot find the necessary software.

Ok, I did a windows update and installed a few things and after that some more hardware was able to install. But there a 3 items left that won't install which are, Video Controller, Video Controller (VGA Compatiable) and Mass Storage Controller. Any idea how I can get those last pieces of hardwear. I don't know if maybe there is the software to install that hardware on the HP site..

What is the exact model number of your laptop.

( ex. Compaq Presario B2023AL Notebook PC, Compaq Presario V2020AP Notebook PC)

Great! Thank you very much for your time and tech help. So will Windows detect if I ever need updates on those drivers?

Your welcome and no the way windows update works is that you have to tell it to look for an update for those drivers. The drivers that you have now should be fine, the only time you really need to update a driver is if you are having an issue with a certain component.
