Solved Base System Device - Sony Vaio

[Djwoody]

Hi.
I have performed a clean install of Win 7 Home 64 bit and everything is working fine apart from one item in the device manager.

"Base System Device" has a yellow exclamation mark next to it.

I have done a bit of research and some say that I need to install the Memory Stick driver or the SD card driver.
I have installed both of these and still have a problem.

My laptop model is VGN-FW21E.

Well you where right is a Card reader... Memory Card Reader Writer Driver Ricoh SD ... Driver must not be Installed ..

I have just re-installed the .exe file and it is still showing and no driver installed.
Where would the files be installed? Could I go through the 'Update driver software...' to try and pick them up?

That seems to have worked now and the Ricoh device is under IDEs etc. now.

Many thanks for your help.
