Solved Help with an unkown device...

[morningstarc]

I've installed windows 7 home premium on a sony vaio laptop. I have an unknown device in device manager and I can't figure out what it is. I've been to intel's website and ran the checker there, all drivers are up to date. Any ideas would be helpful... TIA

whats the model number of the Vaio?

 

[morningstarc]

VGN-C140g

Try installing the Vista Memory Card drivers from here:
Sony eSupport - VGN-C140G - Software Updates & Drivers

 

[morningstarc]

That fixed the unknown Mass Storage device, but the unknown device is still listed.

Touch Pad?

Could it be a missing driver for a touchpad?

 

[morningstarc]

The touchpad was listed under mouse as a PS2 compliant something, so I installed the drivers for that, now it's listed correctly as the Alps touchpoint. Still and unknown device though.

Its an Intel chipset driver i think, but which one I'm not sure...

 

[theog]

Try updating all drivers.

 

[Anthony]

have you tried windows update, that usually finds it if its reckonized, which your is!!

 

[morningstarc]

The chipset drivers are installed and working correctly. I have ran the Intel driver update utility and the wireless card and chipset drivers are current.

 

[morningstarc]

Will try windows update...

Windows update found it. Sony Corporation - Input - Sony Firmware Extension Parser Device. Not sure what that is but the unknown device is gone now.

Thanks so much...
