I've noticed that some security features in the HP's we've been using do not have VEN/DEV numbers assoicated with them, I had to download most of the security suite applications to assist in determining the identity of a few unknown devices, even then, there was one I gave up on and ordered the driver CD for that model to determine what the device was.
one thing that MIGHT help is the devcon tool from microsoft... though it can get a bit hairy. http://support.microsoft.c
running the command: devcon find * >> devicelist.txt
will give you a list of just about every device in the computer
running the command: devcon findall * >> devicelist.txt
will give you all devices, including those not presently connected to the computer.
hopefully this helps point you in the right direction.
You may be able to run SIW or everest ( trial edition ) to find out this info

The microsoft tool helped. But I'm not able to find the downloadable links for the following:
Video Controller(VGA Compatible) - PCI\VEN_8086DEV_2572DUBSYS
Universal Serial Bus Controller - PCI\VEN_8086DEV_24DDSUBSYS
Ethernet Controller - PCI\VEN_14E4DEV_1696SUBSYS
Thanks
Ethernet Controller - PCI\VEN_14E4DEV_1696SUBSYS
Looks like a Broadcom Netxtreme Gigabit driver (Go to http://www.broadcom.com/su
USB controller PCI\VEN_8086DEV_24DDSUBSYS
Looks like an Intel USB driver using the following at Google http://www.google.co.nz/se
Video Controller(VGA Compatible) - PCI\VEN_8086DEV_2572DUBSYS
Looks like Intel Graphics using the following at Google http://www.google.co.nz/se
Try this for Intel drivers
http://downloadcenter.inte
and there's an Intel driver update link there if you get the networking sorted.
the link for the NIC was http://www.broadcom.com/su
the chipset is http://h20000.www2.hp.com/
Intel is asking for the right chipset to determine the video controller. http://downloadcenter.inte
Can you see which one to choose video controller driver, for this chipset?
the link for the NIC was http://www.broadcom.com/su
In Device Manager for the Ethernet controller you should be able to point it to the folder containing the three files. It should then update the ethernet controller and allow you network access.
If it does then access the Intel site http://downloadcenter.inte
gecko_au2003 recommended using SIW http://www.gtopala.com
Try that or Unknown Devices http://www.halfdone.com/De
Both are free and will be more informative than the Vendor numbers presently using.
The HP Download Page should be this one:
Lookin
http://h18000.w
Graph
Multimedia should be:
USB Should be:
