Laptop Drivers :(

TheCheshireCat · 09-22-2009, 10:58 PM

Hello everyone

I recently installed Windows 7 on my HP Pavilion dv5 1060ej, formatting the old vista install.
The installation went smooth, and W7 found most of my drivers and installed them.
I also downloaded and installed drivers from hp's support website. I didn't install all the ones that were on the list, because I thought some were useless to me, but maybe I missed some important ones.

My problem is: Some of my drivers are still not installed.
Under "Computer" I have "ACPI 86x-based PC", which I think is a big problem, although I might be wrong.

Anyhow games and programs seem to be working ok.. If this is a problem, then I didn't get to experience its symptoms yet.

Heres a screen of my device manager:

Please help.

THANKS in advance,
Tom

No I don't think you have a problem - that "ACPI 86x-based PC" entry is normal.

Oh, thats cool. So these 4 unidentified devices are just minor devices that I don't need to pay attention to?

The "Base System Device" is probably flash drive readers . . the Unknown device probably a modem

Thanks, both of you!
