drivers

hi all,
I have three unknown devices in d. manager all with labels as follows
ACPI\ATK0110 ATK0110
ACPI\PNPB006
ACPI\PNPB02F
how would i go about finding out what these devices are exactly?
the only P'n'P device i have is my mouse and a virtual drive for HD ... what is the other one? and which was is which?
also, my sound, v.c, and eth0 cards all work... so what's this other PNP device that's missing drivers?
thanks

Could be your monitor. What I suggest you do to give us better information is, Open Control Panel > (set to "Classic View") > open "Problem Reports and Solutions" > under Task > click View Problem history > any issues relating to PnP > right click > View Problem Details
This should better describe the problem. -- Andre Extended64 | http://www.extended64.com Blog | http://www.extended64.com/blogs/andre http://spaces.msn.com/members/adacosta "Amir S." wrote in message

Looks like an ACPI driver for your motherboard. I have the same issue. When I put in my Asus disk and have Windows search for the driver, it finds the Asus ACPI driver but the install fails.

Hello
I have recently installed Vista and am unable to use my network or access the internet as i dont have the correct driver.
Anybody know how i can get the audio and network drivers (network being mre important) for the Asus A8N-SLI Deluxe board?
-- Dave H

Try opening Windows Update in Control Panel and seeing if there are some recommended driver updates available.

When I installed my Vista; I immediately allowed Vista to search over the internet; which gave me the best updated drivers that have been working flawlessly for all of my hardware.
I did initially try XP drivers, but that was a terrible idea on my part; and now stick with the thought of letting vista find it's own compatible drivers.

And as an aside....... Just for general precautions, always keep your current drivers on a different partition to your OS along with your data. :)

Dave: I'm using the A8N-E mother board and The Nforce NIC and Ralink wireless NIC drivers loaded with Vista64. I don't know about the Gigabit drivers. If you han 2 NIC slots on your back plate, try plugging the NIC cable into the other slot.

I have that same board and both drivers were in the Vista package. You should NOT try XP drivers. Check your device manager and try reinstalling the drivers from there. With the A8N-SLI Deluxe in my computer the system connected to the internet and I had sound without having to do anything. Be sure to disconnect any unneeded peripherals until you successfully troubleshoot this.

I re-booted Vista which sorted out the network problem (other than a disfunctional IPv6 and and incorrect IP address for IPv4) i then downloaded the audio codec.

Something's wrong. Vista comes with BUILT-IN drivers for the Marvell NIC on A8N boards. I'd recommend going to the NIC in Device Manager, Updating the driver, and allowing Vista to Search for the correct one. I believe that it will find one that works perfectly. (I'm posting this on an A8N-SLI Premium, using the Marvell NIC with the driver that Vista installed during 32-bit (x86) setup.)

Correct. I have this board also and had no issues.

The beta XP X-Fi drivers on Creative's website install just fine in Vista and allow you to change modes, and use mutlichannel speakers, just as they do in XP. I installed them over the Beta Vista drivers and now I can switch between modes and I am able to use crystalizer, stereo surround, and my 5.1 channel speakers. It is much better than the beta drivers.

So far so good, the only hardware that my Vista was not able to have a driver assigned for is my HP PSC 2210xi printer and Creative Game Port? I'm surprise HP doesn't have a beta drivers for the Vista. And Creative has a beta driver for my Soundblaster Audigy 2 ZS soundcard but for some reason Vista is having trouble installing driver for this Creative Game Port? I guess it's all just a waiting game for now.

please try this method of installation for Creative Audigy 2 driver and Audio Console
you will first need to unisntall the Vista beta drivers, which do not work

Please include at least the basic SATA drivers in the final version of Vista. Many distros of Linux have this already (I think it may just be part of the kernel) and have had it for some time. Personally, I think it makes it much easier to install and use the system. Surely this will be something that is loved by everyone who must fight the current driver system just to get their machine functioning properly.

Exactly. As long as the MOBO provides a standard SATA connection, the MSFT drivers will be fine. You get into trouble when they start using small companies(or even big lazy companies) propriatary solutions which need specialized drivers.

Hmmmm .... Not looking at flaming but as Linux in it's various distro's only holds a small fraction of the market compared to MS I would say the MOBO manufacturers were NOT the issue - I have a Silicon Image 3512 SATA built into an NForce3 chipset on a Shuttle Barebones SN85G4 and by all account the SATA controller manufacturer is constantly updating the drivers - the primary BIOS for the MOBO was last updated July 2005 so I would have thought that this was fairly stable. Also NForce3 has been on the market for some time and is widely used. Perhaps MS would benefit from a voluntary audit of PC's out there so they could focus on bundling appropriate drivers for install ie: ones that allow the system to build first such as IDE, SATA, SCSI, Network, Modems etc ... rather than some of the bulky graphics/sound card drivers (after all one of the first things you do after base install is toddle of to the manufacturer to get the latest for these). I can't remember the last time I saw Video driver less than 20MB whereas drivers for core components usually come in at less than a MB. Come on MS - the bulky stuff can all be delivered post install - please concentrate on allowing people to have basic usage first - after all how many people get audio on the first run post install? Also It may be advantageous to have a base Virus Guard bundled until after the machines are live - this would at least provide some protection to a fledgling build prior to being fully configured.

Please note - this is still a Beta release and we are trying to assist MS in getting IT right. When it comes to drivers the various Linux distributions generally focus on things that will allow the system to use the majority of core system components such as SATA, SCSI, Network (and occassionally modems) so that the system has storage and connectivity to obtain the additional bells and whistles of graphics and audio. Hence you can get a basic distribution of Debian that is less that 200MB - the rest is downloaded as you require. MS seems to concentrate on having a large area for graphics and audio on the distribution disk which could be put to better use on providing the basics as previously mentioned. Most users only tend to have one graphics card and one sound card leaving the other thousand or so redundant so it would be better if these were identified at the end of install and downloaded with the first update post-install. My system uses a Silicon Image 3512 SATA controller for which the driver is extremely light-weight (will fit onto a floppy) but I have to have this available anytime I do an install as the MS install process won't recognise this as my primary storage provider - even thought this technology is well established. At the other end of the scale is the graphics card - let's face it when it comes to any graphics card 9/10 people who build systems go straight to the manufacturers web site and will happily download a bloaty package usually in excess of 30MB (compressed) and then install. BTW these usually get tweaked every month so to have your system at the top of it's game you need to perform this quite regularly - MS are usually a couple of revisions down as this allows for stability. A better solution would be for MS to include all of drivers which allow whatever system you have to a least provide basic storage and connectivity for all established base hardware prior to release and to deliver Graphics/Audio/Printer drivers after base install once these have been determined by the underlying devices - even when building an XP SP2 distribution you will expect to see a Windows Update Download of approx 100MB-150MB and still you'll go off to the manufacturer of whatever graphics/Audio/Printer card/system you have and download at least another 100MB of files. Finally this would also allow for a more compact build DVD distribution for manufacturers - at present the ISO is about 3.3GB - this would probably allow the image to be cut to approx 2GB-2.5GB leaving at least 2.2GB for the manufacturer to bundle a few goodies on (possibly Office 2007?) and a faster install.

Yes, MS should include all these drivers. The part you are omitting is that the drivers do not magically appear; the drivers are submitted to MS by the manufacturer of the product. So if MS doesn't have the driver, it is because the manufacturer has not submitted the driver to MS.

Just thought I'd post this for everyone:
When I first installed Vista nothing was working, no sound, no ethernet etc.
So I tried installing them from the CD but the CD wanted me to have XP.
So I went into the device manager and uninstalled the ethernet etc.
It then found new software and I said I don't have a disk, Vista then let me choose from a location on my PC. I chose the Drivers/ folder on the CD.
All the drivers installed perfectly and I now have sound, ethernet, USB 2.0 etc :)

Hey? What do you mean?

Do you mean the Drivers/ folder on the XP CD? I have a Drivers CAB "folder" but Vista won't search that CAB file. Can you explain a bit more how you reached your solution, because I seem to be having the same problem. Upon installing VISTA, I lost my Ethernet Connection drivers and so cannot connect to my network or to the internet.

Just thought I'd post this for everyone:
When I first installed Vista nothing was working, no sound, no ethernet etc.
So I tried installing them from the CD but the CD wanted me to have XP.
So I went into the device manager and uninstalled the ethernet etc.
It then found new software and I said I don't have a disk, Vista then let me choose from a location on my PC. I chose the Drivers/ folder on the CD.
All the drivers installed perfectly and I now have sound, ethernet, USB 2.0 etc :)

Do you mean that you used a Drivers/ folder on your Window XP CD? Where is that folder? I have a Drivers CAB "file" or "folder" but when I select that folder, VISTA won't search it.

On your driver CD that you got with your motherboard there should be a 'Drivers' folder or similar. If you can't find the folder then try telling Vista just to search the whole CD?
