    I have clean-installed XP SP2 with almost all driver setup, but still got two showing yellow star in the device manager. One is SM Bus Controller, the other one is unknow device. Where can I find driver for them? and I even don't know what are they?

    Anyone can help? Thanks and merry christmas.

    SMBus controller is for single wire devices like temp sensors,they require no drivers.
    As for the second device try viewing the properties in the device manager.Post it's location.If there is driver CD shipped with the laptop which you have not installed.Install it.
    View the Spec sheet.What it the which you cannot recognize in the device manager.
