Hi all

Just purchased a Lenovo T61 which came with Vista. I have rolled back to Windows XP and having some issues with identifying the required drivers for several devices within the laptop. The following "Other devices" have no drivers:
- Biometric Coprocessor (Location: Location 0 Biometric Coprocessor)
- Unknown device (Location: Intel(R) ICH8M LPC Interface Controller - 2811)
- Unknown device (Location: Microsoft ACPI-Compliant Embedded Controller)
- Video Controller (VGA Compatible) (Location: PCI bus 1, device 0, function 0)

Anyone whom could assist in identifying the most appropriate software drivers would be be greatly appreciated.

Kind regard
David

Lenovo ThinkPad T61 7664 - Core 2 Duo T7300 / 2 GHz - Centrino Duo - RAM : 1 GB - HD : 120Gb

I'm also missing the Intel(R) ICH8M LPC Interface Controller - 2811 driver. I installed the Intel Matrix Storage Manager Driver, which did let me switch my hard drive from Compatibility mode back to AHCI mode, but the unknown driver is still there. Also, when I look under the SCSI and RAID Controllers section, it just shows the generic "SCSI and RAID Controller" without any driver information.

Try this for the unknown:
Atmel TPM (Trusted Platform Module) chip :
