    Hey,

    I just installed windows 7 Ultimate, ran windows update and everything, but I still have 2 unrecognized devices in my Device Manager.

    The 2 devices are:

    Base System Device
    PCI Device

    They both have the horrible ! next to them, and I can't figure out what drivers I'm missing.

    Anyone have any ideas?

    Base System Device is the card reader. Vista drivers can be installed for it.
    PCI Device can be the Ageia Physx card, as BatBoy said above.

    Where can I find the vista drivers for the card reader?

    I'll try the PhysX Card tonight. Thanks.

    Looks like those are 32 bit vista drivers, does a 64bit version exist?
