Thinkpad R52 system splat

[liliggyracin]

I have an unknown device in device manager under system that of course contains the lovely Windows Splat. Below is a screen print of the problem. Does anyone know what this might be and if so let me know so I can find a driver for it..

Thanks!!

I think its the TPM (Trusted Platform Module).

I have the exact same problem you are facing. When I try to re-install the supposedly correct driver, the whole machine freezes.

Also got an R52 (1849-4QU).
Anyone have any idea on what to do with this? Thanks!

The last three entries on my stock, but currentlly updated R52 are

Terminal Server Device Redirector
ThinkPad PM Device
Winbond Trusted Platform Module 1.1

It says the driver for that last is

Date: 6/30/2005
Version 5.1.47.2001

Dunno if that helps or not. Anything specific I should look for?

Thats what it was. Thanks a lot. Took me a while to find the darn driver but I found it installed it and all is well now. The lockups are gone and EU is happy now.



EDIT----

Ok found the driver. Followed the instructions to install it.
Run the .exe file from Lenovo and uninstall the driver. Reboot and when it asks for the file I point it to c:\drivers\win\tpm It finds it starts installing then locks the computer up. I have tried updating installing in safe mode and adding through add new hardware. Any ideas????


Thanks!!
