    Hi all,

    I have just successfully installed 64-bit Windows 7 Home Premium on my SR41M, along with some 64-bit sony drivers I managed to find... :)

    However, in my device manager I am left with a single device unaccounted for, listed merely as "Base System Device". I have absolutely no idea what it is.

    Any ideas what driver I might need to install to resolve this..?

    Cheers.

    Download everest, and that helps with unknown devices.
