R400 drivers

#1 Post by stevech » Sat Sep 22, 2012 10:02 pm

Recently acquired a used R400, installed VistaBus 64 on it, everything so far so good. However there are 4 unresolved devices in Device Manager: 2 Base System Device, 1 PCI Simple Communications Controller, and 1 Unknown Device. Tried System Update and also installed Intel Chip Support but no luck. Looking for ideas. Thanks.

Did you try Windows Update? If you have the SWTools folder from the original install, you can search it. The card reader, modem, TPM chip, power management chip are some candidates.

Thanks, Windows Update did not do it, however, if one googles something specific like "PCI Simple Communications Controller device unknown under WinVista 64 on R400", there is a link to support.lenovo.com that address all the potential unknown dev problems,and yes, now I've got all of them resolved.
