Which drivers to install after basic Win XP Install?

#1 Post by jwege » Wed Aug 28, 2013 4:35 pm

Hi,
I have a refurbished T61 which I installes Win XP SP2 on, basic installation from scatch (and yes, an XP Pro nowadays).

Now, in the Device Manager, I have a number of questionmarks, some of which I can identify (Biometric etc.), some of which I have no idea what drivers to install. My product number is 7661Y8K.

The following ones are unclear to me:

- Videocontroller
- Videocontroler (VGA compatible)
- PCI Device
- SM-Bus-Controller
- unknown Device (Detail says "standard ISA Bridge" - translated from German)
- unknown Device (Embedded Microsoft ACPI-conform controller)
- Network Controlle (I assume that's the WiFi one, but which?)

Also, I would appreciate if someone could give a list of "what to install additionally to get a full featured T61" ...

Thanks in advance for your help!

The simplest thing would be to download the Lenovo System Update for WinXP and let it install all the drivers.
Current: X220 4291-4BG, T410 2537-R46, T60 1952-F76, T60 2007-QPG, T42 2373-F7G
Collectibles: T430s (IPS FHD + Classic Keyboard), X32 (IPS Screen)
Retired: X61 7673-V2V, A31p w/ Ultrabay Numpad
Past: Z61t 9440-A23, T60 2623-D3U, X32 2884-M5U

T23 (purchased for $20, built up from dead laptops. 1.2ghz cpu upgrade, wifi mini pci card and ufl jack mod. refuses to die)
T40 (dead in cupboard - gpu thing - inspired to fix after reading this forum!)
T410 (current flagship)

I would follow this advise and have this utility find what you need versus you guessing what you need
T42 (type 2373)
T43 (type 2668) x2
T60 (type 2007)
