PCI Device and SM Bus Controller

Hi all,
I got my new T61 with vista and downgraded it to XP. But I have still these 2 errors in my device manager still showing . I don't know what is the reason but any help is greatly appreciated.

The devices are

1. PCI device
2. SM Bus Controller

I tried to install a lot of drivers but all went in vein. Please help me out.

Thanks & Regards,

Have you installed the Intel Chipset Driver ?

 

I'm thinking Intel Chipset driver as well. You can download it direct from Intel if you're having trouble with the one from the manufacturer.

Burn your SWTools folder onto a disc. Let XP search for the driver.

 

I'm extremely sorry to ask what are software tools.
I don't know where they will be on the system.
I tried to download the files by going to the intel site and I downloaded them a nd tried to install them.

but I'm getting the error
The system does not meet the minimum requirements.

Mine is a T61
2.5 GHz T9300
3GB RAM
160 Gb Hard Drive @ 7200 RPM
128 MB nVIDIA Quadro NVS140
Intel 802.11agn Wireless.

I don't know what the problem really is.

I installed all the 97 drivers on the lenovo site not even seeing whether they are going to be useful for my system or not.
Can you people please atleast give me the list so that I can download only those drivers which are required for a normal XP installation on a Thinkpad T61.

Thanks & Regards,
Satish.

 

Now I got another error but the number of errors still remained 2 in the device manager.

This time there is problem with the
Audio Device on High Definition Audio Bus.


I don't know when the war between me and the device manager will be over.

I don't know when I will be going to see the other things and enjoy my new T61 laptop with these drivers issues.

Thanks & Regards,
Satish.

 

Either your system does not like XP, or you did not install the drivers properly.

You can download DriverMax and see if it helps you install the correct drivers. Or if you know what drivers to install, integrate them into the XP CD using nLite, and they will automatically installed by XP during setup.

 

SWTools is a folder on your C:\ drive. It contains all the applications and drivers installed on your ThinkPad, which should include your missing driver. If you burn it onto a disc and let the device manager driver updater look for it, hopefully it'll find it.
