Hello @HPpowerUser,
Welcome to the HP Forums, I hope you enjoy your experience! To help you get the most out of the HP Forums I would like to direct your attention to the HP Forums Guide First Time Here? Learn How to Post and More.
I have read your post on how you have downgraded your system from Windows 8 (64-bit) to Windows 7 (32-bit), and that your system is displaying a atikmdag.sys. I would be happy to assist you in this matter!
According to the available drivers and software for your computer, Windows 7 is only supported for the (64-bit) version of Operating System. To maintain a compatible set of drivers on your system, I recommend downgrading to a 64-bit version of Windows 7.
I hope this helps!

T60 2007-FUG ATI X1400 Windows 7 64-bit projector and external display problem

I have Windows 7 64-bit Enterprise on my T60. I have tried to install many different ati drivers, but nothing seems to work. I cant use a projector or external display via VGA port. I heard that if I boot with a projector then it works ok.
I have installed Ati Install Manager and so on. I have uninstalled drivers etc. I have search forums. I installed all updates from Lenovo site. BIOS is up to date. I installed X1400 driver from Windows update site. Driver date is 1.12.2008. I cant update it. Everything else works super.
What to do?

Looking at the ATI drivers on the T60 support site, I do not see one that supports Win7....don't know if there is a plan to.
You probably have basic functionality with the Vista driver, but I would not imagine that all options will be available.
If you cannot get the external VGA port to work through the Catalyst Control Center, then I would would chalk it up to a lack of Win7 support.

Boot Camp 4.0 - Atikmdag.sys crash

Hi all,
I've got a BIG problem with Boot Camp 4.0 ATI driver.
I use a mac mini mid-2011 plugged to a Iiyama PLB2403WS monitor with a HDMI cable. That screen can display 1920x1200 mode.
When I boot the system on Mac OS X Lion, it works perfectly.
After using Boot Camp 4.0 to install Windows 7, the first boot worked well. I had no Aero effects.
But, when I installed Boot Camp Windows support drivers, it did not work anymore.
ATI drivers are guilty because it makes Windows 7 crash at each startup.
I get the famous BSOD displaying the filename Atikmdag.sys with error "PAGE_FAULT_IN_NON_PAGED_AREA".
I guess Apple and AMD must fix the ATI driver for the graphic chip "AMD Radeon 6630M".
When i plug the mac mini on my Samsung HDMI TV, it works great, Windows starts without crashing and i get the Aero effects.
And then when i plug it back to the Iiyama monitor, Windows crashes.
It's confusing and frustrating as I'm not willing to use my TV as the mac mini's monitor display.
Is there any way to make Apple or AMD fix that ?
Or has anyone of you succeeded in using same hardware than me ?
Thanks for your help !

Well I found out by my own a way to overcome this problem
Here is the process to do under windows 7:
1. Install Bootcamp drivers
2. Windows 7 restarts the computer
3. Blue Screen Of Death and the computer automatically restarts...
4. At the restart, press and hold ALT key for boot selection. Choose Windows and then press F8 and then choose Safe Mode with Network activated
5. Go to C:\Windows\System32\drivers and rename atikmdag.sys to atikmdag.sys.old
6. Download latest AMD Radeon Mobility driver for the graphic card (mine is AMD Radeon 6xxxM series)
7. Install the driver
8. Restart the computer
9. Optional : delete file C:\Windows\System32\drivers\atikmdag.sys.old
It works ! You get the Aero effects, no more crash.
My mistake was uninstalling bootcamp's graphical driver beforetrying to install AMD's official drivers (that couldn't detect/recognize the hardware).
But if you don't uninstall bootcamp's graphics drivers, then use the official and latest AMD driver it detects the hardware and you can install the up-to-date driver that works.

15-f019dx downgraded from windows 8.1 to windows 7 home premium 64 bit: need drivers

Stopped:
Internet driver

Network Controller
PCI Device
PCI simple communications controller

maybe other stuff I haven't noticed?
I see others on this forum have had similar problems going back to windows 7. I tried some of their driver solutions that were posted, but to no avail. Can I get some help? Maybe some links to where I can find drivers to help me? Windows update cannot find and automatically install replacement drivers.

Hi:
Looking at the hardware specs for your model you should be able to use all of the W7 x64 drivers and software from the HP Probook 450 G2 on your model except the BIOS and firmware files.
Your model uses the Intel HD graphics driver and the Realtek RTL8188EE wireless card driver.

Adobe Bridge CC (64 bit) shows in my Start menu but will not open.

Adobe Bridge CC (64 bit) showed installed on my Start menu and on the apps CC section.
I cannot open Bridge from either the Start Menu or the File Menu on CC PS CS6.
I'm on Windows 7, 64 Bit.
I also can no longer use Print Maintenance functions on my non CC PS CS5 version.

Make sure you do not have a previous version of Bridge running in the background. Only one version can run at a time.
Open Task Mangaer and click on processes tab. Look for and close and bridge.exe.

HP Pavilion G6-2244NR network, usb, wireless problems after downgrade to Windows 7

HP Pavilion G6-2244NR with networking issues. Okay, so I have a G6-2244NR that I had to downgrade to Windows 7 Pro 64 (SP1), due to problems with software compatibility. Install was originally done on UEFI GPT, wiped 8 and started from scratch with Legacy support MBR. Install went perfectly fine. However, I boot into 7 and I get the Network icon showing a red X. I then go into manager and note that there are no networking devices listed. Instead I have 8 devices listed under "Other Devices" with yellow exclamations by each of them. This includes the Bluetooth Controller, the Ethernet Controller, the Network Controller, a PCI device, the SM Bus Controller, two USB controllers, and an "Unknown Device". Bluetooth ID is ven_1814&dev 3298, Ethernet ID PCI\VEN_10EC&DEV_8136, and so on. I have downloaded drivers out the wazoo. I think I updated the chipset but not sure if right chipset updates (Catalyst 12.6). Still no luck. Every time I try and install what I think are correct drivers I get a "Device not working" error on the LAN card. Can anyone help??
This question was solved.

Downgrading from Windows 8.1 x64 to Windows 7 Professional 32bit on HP 15-r036tu

Hello,
Is that possible to downgrade from factory installed windows 8.1 to windows 7 on HP 15-R063TU Notebook?
Please guide for neccesary steps at earliest.
Regards
Arvind Singh

Why 32 bit? I do not recommend that but here is a past thread dealing with your exact question:
http://h30434.www3.hp.com/t5/Notebook-Operating-Systems-and-Software/Downgrading-from-Windows-8-1-to...
The "downgrade" will not be free. You will have to buy Windows7 or have a real licensed copy available.

Downgrade from Windows 8 to 7 on Satellite S75D-A7272, is it possible with this crazy system?

I have recently purchased a Satellite laptop and it came with Windows 8 preinstalled and I would like to replace or downgrade to Windows 7. My model is Toshiba Satellite S75D-A7272 and has an AMD A10-5750M APU with Radeon HD graphics motherboard, with 2.5GHz CPU speed and 8 GB RAM. 1TB hard drive with EUFI BIOS and GPT partitions. 64-bit operating system and this model has both windows 8 and 7 drivers at the support page. Can someone please tell me how to install successfully windows 7. I have done lots of research but I don't understand the "flash the BIOS" part I read about concerning my setup. Can I get some directions for dummies please?

To see if your bios can be changed to run window 7 follow these instructions:
Restart computer and hold f2 when the screen goes black and wait for the bios setup utility to launch.
Select advanced, then system configuration, then boot mode
see if you have option for UEFI and CSM (UEFI for Windows 8 and CSM for windows 7)
If you have CSM option that is what is used for windows 7.
Also in bios setup utility select Security, then Secure Boot, then you have to disable secure boot for windows 7
I am not familiar with flash bios or drivers on this model
Edited:
Jerry - is right not much there for windows 7 drivers

Downgrade from windows 8 to windows 7

I went to best buy and bought windows 8. I think it a awful operating system. I thought windows 7 was a good operating system. best buy won't refund my money for windows 8 and I don't have any money left to buy windows 7 is there any way I can downgrade to windows 7 for free?

Well, you can downgrade... And, you can manage to do it for free -- at least initially. What you do for free, though, may well come back and bite you hard.
HP urges customers: do not downgrade new PCs to Windows 7
That is not the worst of it.
There may not be HP Drivers for your computer. If you have the skill to deal with this, you are OK -- if not, then you may be unhappy. The Drivers are what makes the hardware work with the operating system. Like Sound, Graphics...
You can turn off many of the Windows 8 "Metro" bits in the Startup Screen -- you can ignore the Startup Screen altogether.

Thanks TomDexter and Macius
I really appreciate your detailed instructions.
I found the following details on the right side of BIOS Advanced Option while select the boot Mode
"Select the boot Mode
.(UEFI Boot )
Support to boot any UEFI-capable OS.
(CSM Boot )
Support to boot non UEFI-capable OS that expects a legacy BIOS interface. This item does not revert back to its default value by Load Setup Defaults Action ".
I need to clarify this .Now we are planning to install Windows 7 Enterprise SP1 . If I select CSM boot on BIOS.. In future we may need to upgrade this laptop to Windows 8.1 Pro . . Is it possible to change the boot mode CMS boot to UEFI Boot on Futur .

Windows 8.1 downgrade to windows 7 pro recovery media with Satellite S50-BBT2N22

I have a few questions about my recovery media.
1. My new Satellite S50-BBT2N22 was ordered with Windows 8.1 downgrade-able to Win 7 pro. Should I build my recovery media before or after I downgrade to win 7 pro?
2. My new Satellite S50-BBT2N22 does not have a DVD drive. How will I save my recovery media?
Regards
Dennis

1. Before. Your Recovery partition will remain Windows 8.1. After downgrading to Windows 7 and beginning operations, you should make frequent HDD copies to an external drive anyway.
2. Use a Flash Drive in a USB port. See your User's Guide starting on page 46 for complete instructions
for making Recovery Media and Recovering the HDD.

[GE70 2OE] Downgrade to Windows 7 (or fix undetected device)

Hello,
I wanted to know if there was an easy and/or safe way to downgrade my Windows 8.1 laptop to Windows 7 (I have Home Premium). Checking the product page on MSI shows BIOS/Drivers/Firmware links for Win7 too. Do I need to install those? How? When?
The reason of my downgrade is that I bought a USB device that simply will not connect on my computer. I did extensive testing and found that it worked on my roommate's computer, who is running 7, and that the issue was most likely not hardware-related but indeed that my computer was unable to detect this one device, everything else working correctly. If you believe that downgrading will not fix this issue, any ideas what might do it?
Thank you in advance, feel free to ask more information, I will do my best to provide.

Downgrading isn't difficult. Just set the computer to boot from Legacy, and you should be good to go.
Don't worry about BIOS/EC Firmware, they don't matter in this case. The computer should run just fine in Windows 7 using the Windows 8/8.1 bios/EC.
Why do we install win8 bios/ec then? If you say these options for licencing stuff, what about FreeDos laptops? Which one to install?

HP m6-1225dx downgrade from Windows 8 to 7

Hi everyone,
I just purchased a ENVY m6-1225dx that came with Win8 and I'm trying to downgrade to Win7 but not having any success. I formatted the HDD and doing a clean install. The setup completes almost all the steps successfully but then gives me an error at the end saying "Windows could not complete the installation. To install Windows on this computer, restart the installation". This message is different than one I was getting previously that said something along the lines of Windows could not be installed on this hardware. I called HP and the technician and manager were both no help at all. They didn't even want to answer a single question and straight away told me that I should contact Microsoft because it's not HP's problem. Can anyone please help me resolve this? It will be greatly appreciated!

The downgrade process
Follow these steps to downgrade to a previous version of Windows software:
1.Obtain genuine Windows media and a corresponding product key for the version of Windows that is eligible for downgrade.
•The media should come from a prior legally licensed version from the OEM or retail channels.
•End users who are licensed separately through Microsoft Volume
Licensing (VL) may provide their VL media and key to a system builder to
facilitate the downgrade on their own systems.
2.Insert the downgrade-eligible version of Windows media in the CD drive and follow the installation instructions.
3.Type the product key.
•If the software was previously activated, you will not be able to activate it online. In this case, the appropriate local Activation Support phone number will be displayed.
Call the number and explain the circumstances. When it is determined that the end user has an eligible Windows license, the customer service representative will provide a single-use activation code to activate the software. Please note that Microsoft
does not provide a full product key in this scenario.
4.Activate the software.
