    Hey,

    Ive replaced the HDD and installed Vista Home premium.
    I've left 2 things i cant fix :

    1. In device managed i have Finger Print device and Unknown Device.
    A. where can i find the finger print driver only ?
    B. What can it be that Unknown device (I installed webcam,sound,network,wireless,chipset,display)

    2. previously i could scroll the page on the right of the pointer pad (i forgot its name), now i cant. i sould install something here ?

    3. what else should i know about fresh installation ?

    i hope i'll pass the 2:40 uptime... i want more !

    my fingerprint driver is listed as:
    - Touchstrip fingerprint sensor
    - Provider: UPEK Inc.
    - c:\Windows\System32\Drivers\tcusb.sys
    - file version: 1.9.2.118

    For the touchpad scroll. thats all handled by the touchpad driver install. did you get the latest one from sonys website?

    I'm not sure what your unknown device is. have a look at my device manager and see if you can find anything your missing.
