HP Mini 110-4108TU Drivers for Windows XP/7

HP Mini 110-4108TU require lightweight Operating system for the best performance. It is recommended to use windows XP 32-bit or Windows 7 32-bit. If you plan to use 64-bit Operating system I don't think it is a wise choice because this notebook known for suppoting only up to 2GB of RAM. Only install 64-bit Operating system if you can upgrade it to 4GB or above.

All drivers listed here is base on drivers provided by HP, but for windows XP it is not listed on official website but available for download. Here I make a quick list drivers you will need for windows XP and Windows 7.

Notes:
Install all drivers, except wireless, you need to choose - broadcom or Ralink or atheros (base on your specification).

Patch:
Must be installed before audio driver! only for windows XP!

    Acer Aspire One AOD270 Drivers Windows XP/Vista/7/8/8.1

    Acer released Windows 7 32-bit support for this model and the reason for 32-bit is Intel GMA 3600/3650, the important issue about this graphic is it only released to work with windows 7 32-bit. Intel, Microsoft Update and Acer dodn't have support for other OS and it is officially state that this graphic design to work with windows 7 32-bit, not 64-bit. This netbook comes with 1GB of RAM. You need Minimum 4GB RAM to run Windows 64-bit or Other 64-bit OS. I already download and checked the drivers files (except audio and bluetooth - the file size is to big), so I re-make the driver list base on actual compatibility provided by each drivers. Some of them support all there OS (windows XP/Vista and 7). You may notice ACER named the driver x86 which refer to 32-bit system but if you check the drivers it also contain 64-bit support. Lastly to complete the list, I check the vendor website for additional support, example the original LAN drivers only support windows 7 32 and 64-bit. So, I just went to Realtek support site and look for download links for windows XP/Vista/8/8.1. They also list out support for other OS such Linux and Window Server/Media Center.

    My recommendation : Choose windows 7 32-bit or Lightweight OS such as Linux Mint

    Windows 8 Upgrade Guide

    Clean install is not recommended, upgrading form windows 7 is a better choice because windows 8 will analyze current driver and re-install it in windows 8. Sometimes windows 7 drivers works with windows 8 and upgrading from windows 7 will make your work easier because windows 8 will automatically reconfigure the drivers for you. Clean install however require certain steps to install such as right click and troubleshoot compatibility before installation.

    Windows 8 will automatically install the following drivers. First make sure to turn on windows automatic updates and install the available updates, reboot after installation.

    DirectX and Games Capability

    Intel Originally claimed both GPUs support DirectX 10.1 but due to driver issues it only support DirectX 9.0c. This is not a big problem to discuss, because the GPUs itself cannot handle DirectX 10 games very well. Here is simple summary from Windows Experience Index:

    Graphic: Desktop Performance for Windows Aero : 5.6
    Gaming Graphic : 3D Business and Gaming Graphics : 3.2

    I think it is important to list out all support available on one page, sadly I didn't found any solution for windows XP 64-bit. If you know or have information about it, do let me know in the comment section below.

    Requirement:
    • The software should be installed on system with at least 1GB of system memory (RAM).

    • Intel Graphic Media Accelerator 3600 Series (GMA3600 and GMA3650) 
    Windows XP Drivers 32-bit

    I found a driver posted by someone on the internet which worked with XP. I believe he/she already modded the drivers so that it is compatible with GMA3600. (more info below)

    Intel Graphic Media Accelerator for windows XP 32-bit
    Version 1.15.0.3278, 2.05MB
    Download (4shared)

    *You need to register (free) to download the files. I do not upload the file, just found it on the internet. If you dound other download link, share it with others.

    You must Install it Manually : (example with picture here)
    1. Extract the driver file, remember the extraction folder location. For this tutorial let just extract it to desktop. (you will need winrar or 7zip software to extract it)
    2. Open device manager by click start - run - and type devmgmt.msc
    3. Right lick on the IGMA 3600 (with yellow mark) and select update driver.
    4. Select " no, not this time"and select "advance, install from a list of specific location".
    5. Select don;t search I will choose the driver to install.
    6. Click Have disk (also uncheck "show compatible hardware if that option available").
    7. Click Browse and Point to the driver we extract earlier on the desktop.
    8. Select the iegd.inf or iegd, OK and proceed with on screen installation.
    9. Reboot after installation finish.

    If you know about moded thingy then it is not hard to understand. Base on the driver version, it is originally  for Atom™ N2000/D2000 Series Embedded Media and Graphics Driver (check MSI Driver here - original file). When I look at the inf file changes was made in several part and worth to point out here is at the Localizable Strings section.

      How to enable Metro UI  in Windows 8/8.1

      Either you manage to install Windows 7 drivers in Windows 8, or stay with the standard Graphic adapter you can enable the Metro UI by editing the Registry Value. This tutorial seems quite advance for non tech-savvy but believe me it is easy, here is the tutorial with pictures : http://laptop-driver.blogspot.com/2014/04/how-to-enable-metro-ui-in-windows-8-and.html

      (Disclaimer :
      This tutorial is for educational purpose only, I don not own the files and it is belong to the respected owner, permission to use any of the the files is your own responsibility.)

      How to Enable Metro UI in Windows 8 and Windows 8.1

      Certain Notebook and PC such as 10.1 inch Netbook unable to support Metro UI by default.This is because 10.1 inch Netbook maximum resolution is 1024 x 600 where minimum requirement for Metro UI is 1024 x 768. So in this tutorial we will make changes to Registry Editor which will improve your Maximum resolution required to run Metro UI.

      1. Open your registry Editor by : Press Windows key + R button and then type REGEDIT and press enter.


      2. A registry Editor will open, now we want to look for Disply1_DownScalingSupported . To do that simply press CTRL + F button on your keyboard and type Disply1_DownScalingSupported and the press enter.


      3. Double Click on it and change the value from 0 to 1. Now reboot your PC for changes to take place.


      4. Now go to Display setting and you will see you will have new maximum resolution and commonly it is 1152 x 864. Change your maximum resolution to use Metro UI.
