Here is my initial suggestion windows 7 driver for this model, so your feedback are really important to help me get the appropriate drivers.
CHIPSET:

NVIDIA nForce 650i Chipset Driver
Downloador use your original chipset drivers:
Downloador vista drivers:
GRAPHIC:

DownloadIf failed
Try your windows Vista drivers:
ftp://ftp.hp.com/pub/softpaq/sp38001-38500/sp38221.exe Install it and if failed ignore it. We just want to extract the driver.
Open device manager (click start and type DEVMGMT.MSC on the search box and press enter)
Under Graphic Adapter it will show Standard VGA - right click and select UPDATE DRIVER - Select BROWSE MY COMPUTER FOR DRIVER SOFTWARE - Then click BROWSE and point to C:\SWsetup\SP38221 and select the inf file - continue with on screen instruction and reboot).

You can also try using the original Vista driver and install it using device manager similarly with Graphic installation:

CRAD READER:
I dont find any information regarding the card reader. If you need this driver (if you believe this model have it) get me the hardware ID for the devices. Normally HP and COMPAQ model only use Texas or Ricoh card reader. Very rare use realtek card reader.
