driver for Compaq 1272 notebook

Are you sure?

Most notebooks use the default Windows drivers, or have the drivers built into the firmware.

I checked Compaq's site for a Presario 1272, and no display driver was listed.

Their were drivers for the audio and touchpad.

If you have a different series, you can go to Compaq's site and select your exact model to get a list of available drivers.

Alternatly, if you are certian that you need a driver, check the Compaq forum at www.driverguide.com
