    Hello,
    I have a Toshiba X205-S9349 that I've recently purchased, and I'm trying to downgrade to XP.

    I have gotten almost everything working, but I can't get the audio driver to work. From what I can gather from searching the internet, this is a common problem, however I have not been able to fix it using the solution that others have come up with, which is to install the KB888111 microsoft UAA patch. I have done this, and still haven't been able to get rid of the Unknown PCI Device.

    Am I doing something wrong? Is there a specific order in which I need to install things?

    I would appreciate any and all help, as I have been working on this for 3 full days now.

    Ah, I found out the problem. I needed to go into the Device Manager and tell it to update the Unkown PCI Device driver.... boy do I feel stupid.

    Hope my stupidity helps someone else.

    sounds like you got this straightened out??? You probably have several private messages, as I saw them before I saw this.

    I have a ZIP file with the hotfix, and all of the XP drivers I used on my SLi3, if anybody needs them.
