It was hard to find it in 2019. :)
It is an XP driver but it works with Windows 7 as well.
You have to add it from the driver update menu in Windows 7 VGA driver section.

Remove or reset BIOS password from Windows
This method works with Acer TravelMate 2490 laptop with Windows 7, but by the included cmospwd.txt works other BIOS versions and PCs or laptops.
Download and extract to a folder this software:
http://www.cgsecurity.org/cmospwd-5.0.zip
( Info: http://www.cgsecurity.org/wiki/CmosPwd )
Log on to Windows as Administrator priviledges, or run an command prompt with administrating priviledges (Click Start-->Run: type CMD hit Ctr+Shift+Enter)
cd to the extracted directory (e.g. cmospwd-5.0)
then in cmospwd-5.0 cd to windows directory
To work on cmos memory, ioperm need to be installed and running. ioperm gives direct port I/O access for specified ports to user-mode process.
when you are already in e.g. \cmospwd-5.0\windows directory: type “ioperm.exe –i” hit enter.
to start ioperm service: type “net start ioperm” hit enter.
type: “Cmospwd_win.exe /k” hit enter, we will see:
1 - Kill cmos
2 - Kill cmos (try to keep date and time)
0 - Abort
Choice :
Type 1 and hit Enter to clear cmos or 2 to keep date and time.
Reboot computer and former BIOS password gone.

your security!

Asus P4S800-MX SE driver vs. Windows 7 32-bit
It was interesting.
Very old motherboard (Asus P4S800-MX SE -10 years old), but Windows 7 didn't recognize the LAN and the Audio device.
But with Windows XP drivers (you can download from ASUS website) works.
Modern operating system with old drivers...and it works:)

HP 250 G1 Notebook Windows 7 LAN driver
Realtek Ethernet Controller Driver
Ralink 802.11 b/g/n WiFi Adapter
Update:
It seems HP finally "did the homework" and put the correct Windows 7 LAN driver to the 250 G1 driver list.
Here is the download link.
(If this driver at the last link does not work, see the first link, that certainly works.)

CCleaner cleans only admin account under Windows 7
Problem:
CCleaner on Windows 7 only cleans the admin account used to allow the installation, not the standard user account.
When you launch CCleaner from the standard user account, the UAC kicks in and asks for an admin password. If you enter local admin passwd, it cleans the admin account. If the domain admin password is entered, it cleans the local copy of the domain admin account...
Solution:
Go into All programs/CCleaner and then right-click on "ccleaner.exe", then click on properties and security. There, among the list of users for the program, you have to add the name of the standard user that requires CCleaner, and then you have to check all the authorizations boxes (complete control, modify, etc).
Then next time you launch CCleaner from the standard user account, the UAC kicks in and again asks for a password. Now the difference is that you can simply enter the password for the standard user (not admin) and UAC will be satisfied with it. Then CCleaner will run and clean the standard user account as desired.

Onboard NIC has correct IP address only after a full power off
Sometimes onboard NIC (network interface controller) has correct IP address (working well) only after a full power off (e.g Windows 7 / 8).
Make a full power off: unplug the PC from the power outlet for 20-30 seconds, then plug in.
If the error still remains, probably the mainboard injured.

USB port error - Windows 7 / 8
Sometimes one or more USB port seems to be wrong in Windows 7.
First take a try with a LiveCD, so you can determine whether the operating system is good or not.
If it good, worth to make a full power off. Unplug the PC from the power outlet for 20-30 seconds, then plug in.
