Compaq Presario C738TU Windows 7 Driver

Ok, here is my suggestion for drivers, test it and report which works and which not, the main problems is with the audio which is Conexant High-Definition Audio Driver, anyway hope this drivers works and report the progress.

Some drivers will automatically install
note that for every installation i recommend to right click and select run as administrator

Additional Notes:

Why there are no official driver release for windows 7 for this model?
It is become the HP/Compaq way to tell user what OS you should use with the model you have, so if there are only driver officially for Xp release mean your laptop only can be use with windows XP. However the not directly prohibit you to use other OS, but you will need to contatct them for technical issues such as compatible driver and other setting.

How do I get this driver?
Normally i use to test it on one of the model similar to this model, example this model is C738TU, so i just need to find another laptop with similar specs say C740TU, compare them, do some research and came out with suggestion.
