Another annoying one if someone could help.
Ive got a newish HP Laptop Im trying to fix here. The problem being that Ive got XP nicely installed and running, but ive 2 devices in device manager that are showing as "Coprocessor" and "Unkown Device" respectively. I think "Unknown Device" is the HP Quicklaunch buttons, and ill just force a driver in for one of the other lappys. The problem is i cant find out what the "Coprocessor" actually is.
Does anyone know of a way to identify this? Ive got a similar machine myself (ive got a 6031EA, his is an EM), and comparing them I cant find the Coprocessor listed anywhere. Is there a piece of software I could use to ID the hardware? Or is there some other way? reason Im doing this is because its an e-bay special with no HDD and no Vista sticker, but hes got XP licences spare.
Help?
Im guessing its an intel chipset & maybe you will need some chipset drivers from Intel

not exactly what i was looking for, but it put me on the right track. Its actually the Serial Bus Controller, not the graphics! Cheers :D

figured that out, the unknown devices are definitely the HP Smart Buttons or whatever they are called. This machine doesnt have any, and the Fn+Function keys all work fine. Might just disable it if i cant find a driver.
*boogies*
XP64 all installed, and with a quick check i find the only difference between his and mine is the amount of RAM and HDD space. Time to use one of my MSDN Licences methinks. My lappy was running XP Home.
isnt it amazing how quick things are when you slipstream the drivers for stuff into an install CD? Took me all of 30 mins to nlite everything in, then just wander back every so often to hit the enter key or do the settings.
Keep tinkering with Nlite and you dont even need to do that.
I used to have mine so all I had to do was log back into windows and update my antivirus.
I use Acronis for running images of my PCs, but I tend to use nLite to actually produce bootables these days. I spent half of yesterday hunting out what hardware was what, and both lappys are now running perfectly. Im rather chuffed to say the least. I actually used a piece of software to extract all the drivers off the working machine, then i streamed them onto the install CD to make my life easier.
