hp pavillion tx 1000 driver co processor and nvidia geforce

Where there is a will.... there is a way...

this worked for me crystal graphics on multiple screens..nvidia control paneletc...Big thanks to a chap called Andre Siegler..

download sp42635.exe from here  http://h10025.www1.hp.com/ewfrf/wc/softwareDownloa

use 7zip to extract all to folder on desktop.

move that folder to E:\NVIDIA or somewhere else you fancy.

type "device manager" into win8 desktop control panel..go to Display adapters >ms basic and right click>update driver>pick from a list of drivers>have disk>select "nvqh.inf" from win64 folder in the folder you created earlier.

 Job done...restart computer..enjoy.

So the Vista 32-bit driver didn't work?

Laptop owners should not upgrade unless the computer manufacturer has OS specific drivers.

An easy way to tell if they will is to go to NVidia in your case, or AMD ATI and see if desktop machines with similar video cards are getting support. If they are not, then your computer manufacturer will not be supplying OS specific drivers either..

As I said to the OP, best to revert to the original OS..

this is weird..when I originally installed 8 I had 2 screens connected and worked fine..disconnected and try to reconnect ..drivers knackered as above..surely I don't have to give up on 8 just because of this!

still struggling to make a driver work..

Revert to original OS?...that would be 32 bit vista for me which was rubbish..64bit win 7 ultimate  works very well..but does not really allow me to make the most of my HP pavilion tx1340ea's (only about 5 years old)touchscreen/tablet capability....win8 seems almost perfect..allowing me win7 style "power/business use" through desktop for CAD, and massively improves tablet use for drawing and leisure activities..8 seems a good thing bar issues with screen and print drivers.

I think it is pretty stingy of HP and NVIDIA not to support this relatively new piece of hardware on the OS it should always have had originally....if HP wont help sort this I doubt I shall buy another bit of HP kit..much as I like their gear..

if MS can help solve this there are a lot of HP tx 1000series units out there who would be mad not to upgrade to win8..bucks for bill..less kit to landfill..and we all feel good..

I think I'll keep trying....

The  Pavilion TX 1000 has the nForce 4 chipset which lost support after Vista. This is why you have problems with the 'co-processor' and video.

There will never be Windows 8 drivers for your machine, or any running on the nForce 4 chipset.

You would do best to revert back to the original Vista operating system.

The minimum specs quoted for Windows 8 are misleading because most machines made in the last few years exceed them. What isn't taken into account is the driver support for the hardware. Without a full driver set, regardless of CPU and RAM, performance will never be good..
