    I just finnished a dual boot with Vista/XP on an HP tx2510us and all went well until I looked at the device manager and found an unknown device. I have all other drivers install and working but I cannot figure out what the unknown device is. How can I find out what the unknown device is? BTW this is in the XP install.

    TIA
    Jake

    Does your computer have Intel Turbo Memory or something to that effect?

    in the details tab, after you got into the "properties", can you get the device instance ID or something? it would help even better...

    Also, have you tried manually "update driver" and look if windows finds something in the internet???

    Its showing up an unknown device because the driver hasn't been installed...

    Btw, could it be the sound card?? there are other posts / info in google with similar issue like yours, and most of them point towards a sound card..

    Go to Vista, open the "Device Manager" extend all and write down all the devices(or make screenshots). Go to XP then and compare. There should be a device that is already installed on Vista but you don't see in XP.

    I just did that and found that the ENE CIR receiver is missing. I tried the vista driver for that but it will not work. Any ideas on where I can get the ENE CIR driver for XP? I did a search but came up with nothing.

    Don't know really but try this or this. Would've been helpful(maybe) if we knew your laptop brand/model/model number.

    Oops missed it, sorry my bad. Try the drivers already? I found a new one here. It's from that russian(HP) forums @fonduekid mentioned. No idea if it's Vista or XP though.

    Edit: It's for Vista... :mad:

    actually there are quiet a few links to driver' in that place, hosted in rapidshare for example, but I have no idea what the frickin' language is meaning...

    Also google translating that page, in the first post, the ene0100 is like referring to the CIR driver probably.. though I am not entirely sure.
