    after installing all drivers needed for my T61 running on XP SP2 after downgrading from Vista, there still seems to be missing device driver upon checking my device manager.

    has someone experienced this too on their T61 after shifting from Vista to XP SP2?

    can someone help me how to fix it?
    i'll try to post a screenshot next time i log on.

    Did you install the Intel drivers first for the motherboard? That usually fixes the problem.

    If not I would install these first, and that usually solves an uninstalled device.

    I put the link here for you to try.

    If your T61 has an Intel Turbo Memory module, it does not work in XP. There's a download on the Lenovo site with a fake driver that will hide it from Device Manager.
