You may need to identify what graphics "chip" your lappy is using, and download the drivers from ATI/Nvidia/Lappy manufacturers.

Type "info" into start menu bar, and click on system info, then components, then display.
That tells you what display hardware/drivers you have !
then google that for drivers.....

Or right click my computer, properties, Device manager top left, go to Display Adaptors, double click that and you will see your card. Now double click the card and go to the driver tab and click update driver.

If that doesn't work, try the HP site for their specific drivers for your model..
Select a product or category from the list below - HP technical support (United Kingdom - English)

Are you looking for graphics drivers for Windows 7*?
The Microsoft Windows 7* operating system (OS) supports two different graphics driver models: the Windows* Display Driver Model (WDDM 1.0 & 1.1) and the older Windows* XP Driver Model (XPDM). WDDM drivers provide the 3D graphical user interface experience to users. XPDM drivers provide an interface that visually resembles the Windows XP user interface and do not support Windows 7 OS premium features such as the Microsoft Aero* user interface.
