    Basically fresh installed Windows 8 on my M17xR3.

    Installed all the dell drivers to my knowledge yet I have this unknown device ID...

    ACPI\VEN_CPL&DEV_0002

    Any ideas what it is and where I can download the driver?

    Thanks in advance!

    Thanks for that, should have said I found that thread and downloaded the recommended drivers as stated there and yet that device ID remains unknown - I presumed the solution remained elusive. Apologies for not stating that..

    Thanks!
