How to Install Windows 7 on HP DV2500

Yesterday, I upgraded my HP DV2500 laptop from Windows Vista SP2 to Windows 7. After installing successful (clean install, not upgrade), my laptop still had problems with Windows 7 compatible driver. There were 3 problems with Base system devices, and 1 problem with Unknown device. Besides, my ALPS TouchPad scroll was not function properly.
Fortunately, after "googling", I have found this helpful guide: General Windows 7 Upgrade Guide for HP Laptops. It helped me too much to solve the problems.
These are my step-by-step guide for busy one:

  1. Fix problem with Base system devices: install Ricoh Card Reader Driver (sp37614)
  2. Fix problem with Unknown device: install HP Quick Launch Button software (sp46731).
    NOTE: QuickPlay software (QuickPlay 3.7 v.6112) must be installed before Quick Launch Software
  3. Update Nvidia GeForce 8400M GS driver: go to Nvidia site to get the latest driver
  4. Update ALPS TouchPad driver: install this driver (sp45035)
  5. Additional:
    Install HP Integrated Module with Bluetooth Wireless driver (sp46063);
    Install HP Wireless Assistant (sp45222) to activate Bluetooth.

    my hp pavilion dv2500 has performance issues with windows vista (takes forever to boot, load programs, etc). have you observed a performance increase or decrease with windows 7? or did the upgrade make a difference at all?
