Equium L10: Windows Vista Beta2 - unknown device

Hi
I have a Toshiba Equium L10 with Windows XP loaded as default but I installed VISTA Beta2 "public release" on it and given that it's only a 1.5GHz Celeron CPU with 512MB RAM, it ran extremely well but, I have one problem which I am hoping that I can get help with from the users in this forum and especially those who have the same/similar Equium model as I have?
Ok, after installing VISTA I checked in Device Manager and noticed "Unknown Device". After checking out the info given in it's properties, I have detailed it below:
Location: Microsoft ACPI Compliant Embedded Controller
Value: ACPI\ACPI 0001 * ACPI0002
When I re-installed XP again, I went to Device Manager/Batteries/Microsoft SMART Battery, the entry for Microsoft SMART Battery Subsystem has "ACPI\ACPI0002\6&28CA2229&0".
Notice the "ACPI0002" info given for the 'unknown device' in VISTA is the same info given for the "Microsoft SMART Battery Subsystem" in Windows XP. So I am left wondering if the unkown device under VISTA is the Microsoft SMART Battery Subsystem and if so, why did VISTA not install the driver for it?
Can anyone help with find a driver for the "unknown device" in VISTA?
Regards
Brave

Hi
The unknown device appears because the driver is missing.
Unfortunately, at this time you will not find any Toshiba supported drivers for the Windows Beta2. This is a beta version and not official on the market.
I think if this OS will be official supported so you will also find the needed drivers.

  • Restoring iPod Shuffle using windows vista if the device is not showing on itunes?

    Hello fellow iPod users
    I had this problem in the past, using different computers. Whenever I change the computer, this happens with my iPod... and the solution is always to restore it to factory default.
    Currently my iPod shuffle first generation is showing on Windows (Computer), but not on iTunes. I am operating. I tried all the procedures on the support website (re installed itunes, quicktime and all other apple software, changed security software, plugged and unplugged the iPod, reinstalled the usb ports)... after I tried extra procedings such as restoring system and changing to another computer, but the problem seems to continue. When I turn on iPod, it flashes the green and yellow light.
    When I plug another iPod on the computer, on the same USB port, iTunes recognizes it and it works perfectly.
    So the problem seems to be the same that I had in the past, exactly the same.
    My question then is this:
    I try to use the restore utilty provided on apple website, but it is not compatible with Windows Vista nor 7. The option given by Apple is to use iTunes to restore the device, but hey, it doesn´t show on the device list, so how can I restore it if it doesn´t show???
    I already had this exact same problem and the solution was always the same, but this time I don´t have an Windows XP computer available...
    I also had iTunes run a device connectivity diagnosis and it reported all positive results, including: iPod found and USB ports checked.
    Orion Noise is the iPod name, since its creation...
    Here is all the diagnosis info (in portuguese.... esta sendo executado means is being executed, is working, properly...

  • Firwfox will not download using Windows vista - shows unknown publisher

    The unknown publishers issue seems to hinge on an problem with the digital signature. The error message is as follows:
    Internet explorer security warning
    Windows has found a problem with this file.
    Name: itunessetup.exe
    Publisher: unknown publisher
    This file was blocked because it does not have a valid digital signature that verifies its publisher
    The reason I was downloading Firefox in the first place was that I have this same issue when trying to dowwload i-tunes. One of the support groups suggested that downloading i-tunes through Firefox avoided this issue.
    Grateful for any ideas!

    Are you downloading and saving the files to a folder on the computer?
    Don't click the Run button in IE to run the program directly, but save the file to your hard drive.

  • LOOK HERE: using an ipod shuffle with windows xp/gets unknown device error

    http://www.genesoc.com/node/405
    If this is similar to what's happening with your shuffle 2g ipod, I may have a weird solution. I spent a few nights troubleshooting this issue and searching many many sites and forums for solutions, all without success. Everytime I plugged the ipod in, XP gave one of the errors at the above URL. I did confirm on another pc that the shuffle was definitely working, because it updated and synched flawlessly. What I finally did to solve the issue was........... remove service pack 2. I know that's a bass ackward solution but it worked! I can now plug my shuffle in and it works everytime, perfectly. The only thing I can say for sure is it's something to do with usb 2.0 on my motherboard. It's a via board btw, with an apollo 333 chipset. Try it for yourself, and let's see if it works. Apple or some other company(you know who) needs to release a patch for this as it seems to be a very common problem.

  • Unknown Device ipod Classic and Windows Vista problem??

    Help!! My ipod Classic is not being recognized by my computer. I have read the previous articles and tried the solutions but I continue to get the result "Windows has determined that the driver software is up to date" I continue to get the error noise when I plug the USB in and the Device manager continues to say "Unknown Device" It seems others are having this problem, how do I fix this?

    I am having the same trouble with mine, and I can say that it isn't iTunes, I plugged my brothers iPod Nano in and it worked like a charm, but when I plugged my iPod Classic 160g in all it says is it is an "unknown divice". It isn't Vista either as the same thing happens on XP Pro as well, so all I can think of is it is a error on the Classic itself. I just wish someone can help out so that I can use my ipod!!!! Come on Apple!!!! Solve this problem!!!!

  • Vista Ultimate on Equium A100 - 2x "Unknown Devices"

    Equium A100-306 with XP Media Centre Edition.
    Stickered as Ready so done clean install of Vista Ultimate (x64).
    Now I have 2 "Other Devices" in Control Panel.
    Did have 3, as Mass Storage Controller was in there too!
    There is an x64 TI xx21 version that does not work, available from Download Centre.
    Anyone know how I can track/identify the devices &/or the missing drivers?
    Used DriverMax and online Update Driver but nothing shows.
    PLUS - anyone knowledgeable about the A100-306 with T5500 duo proc......
    Is this a true 64 bit device or is it a 32 bit system running a 64 bit processor?
    I have x64 Vista loaded which should show 4Gb or more, but it still reads 3062Mb.
    Having read lots, I find that some people differentiate between system and processor capability, others do not.
    Is it possible to have a 64bit processor in a 32bit system?
    Why has this issue not been solved?
    If it is a 32bit system, why should we bother putting x64 OS on it?
    Confused on this so any help would be great.
    Yep! I have latest BIOS.
    Oddly enough, I did get XP_MCE to show 4GB RAM immediately after BIOS upgrade.
    Finally, Thanx to everyone who has asked (& replied to) all those other questions I had.
    I came, I searched, I got the answer.......
    Just the above to sort & I'm a v. happy bunny.

    Please not that the Toshiba Vista 64bit drivers are not available on the Toshiba page and therefore some unknown devices can appear in the device manager because of the not installed drivers!!!
    > anyone knowledgeable about the A100-306 with T5500 duo proc...... Is this a true 64 bit device or is it a 32 bit system running a 64 bit processor
    Intel Core2 Duo Mobile T5500 is known as a Merom/64Bit CPU.
    > Is it possible to have a 64bit processor in a 32bit system?
    Yes, the CPU supports 64bit OS and 32bit OS
    > If it is a 32bit system, why should we bother putting x64 OS on it?
    You can install everything what you want but the question is if you will get all the right drivers

  • Equium L10-200 - Drivers for Windows 7

    I've just replaced the failed HD in my wife's Equium L10-200, upgraded the memory to 1GB and did a clean install of Windows 7. After some tweaking it's working well but I can't get it to detect the wireless (I've tried both the (Vista drivers available) and the video card will only run DirectX in XP mode which makes it laggy when playing games.
    I'd like to find a Win 7 compatible driver for the wireless card or, failing that, a suitable hardware upgrade.
    For the video card, I'd like to find a hardware upgrade.
    Does anyone have any suggestions?
    Thanks

    Thanks for the advice, folks. Shows how little I know about laptops!
    I looked up the hardware IDs in device manager but can't make head or tail of the information there:
    PCI\VEN_17FE&DEV_2220&SUBSYS_03101468&REV_00
    PCI\VEN_17FE&DEV_2220&SUBSYS_03101468
    PCI\VEN_17FE&DEV_2220&CC_020000
    PCI\VEN_17FE&DEV_2220&CC_0200
    There appears to be no vendor with ID 17FE and device 2220 is an EIDE card. I get the impression I'm misreading the information but can't figure out what I'm doing wrong.
    Any pointers would be very appreciated.
    Thanks

  • Windows needs to install driver software for your unknown device

    Windows needs to install driver software for your unknown device
    This is the message that i get when ever i plug in my ipod touch to my computer. the computer is running on vista. i dont know what to do, because i tried to follow the steps suggested, but it didnt work, the computer said that it couldnt find anything and to check with apple for some driver software. HELP!!!

    The iPod touch and iPhone do not use the same type of USB drivers that other Apple devices use. They both require Apple Mobile Device Services to be running. Using this tech article as a guide, you can easily fix this: http://support.apple.com/kb/TS1567

    HP Pavilion tx2500 Notebook PC

    I downloaded the latest version of Itunes and haven’t been able to use since
    Every time I connect Iphone to computer, PC recognizes (it shows on Portable devices)
    but somewhat shows also in another devices (unknown device) and Itunes doesn't recognize or even shows anything.
    I uninstalled and reinstalled Itunes and all apple software (Bonjour, QuickTime etc) about 15 times every way I could imagine.
    I extracted files (usbaapl64). I tried to update drivers with no success.
    I uninstalled Anti viruses, scanned HD, updated some video/sound drivers
    It works on my husband’s computer (another HP)under windows Vista 32bits but it’s not working on mine for the life of me.
    I can’t figure it out what its causing the conflict and would appreciate any suggestion
    I do not really want to try to jump using the restore since last time I did it I had a hard time to download/update my contacts and settings and ended up having to download MobileMe
    Pls help

    todays update
    It got worse before got better
    I uninstalled and reinstalled Itunes a couple more times. I even tried to install a 32bit version since task manager shows Itunes 32*exe.
    I finally gave in and restored Iphone to factory settings and then my iphone could only call 911 (emergency calls)
    I try to connect again to restore it but it didn't work. I tried the DFU and got a error msg "error-message-0xe8000001"
    I researched the error msg and found something about USB2.0. I went to HP site and downloaded an update for some drivers and voila
    right now iphone is being synchronized
    hopefully I won't have any problems with my contacts like I had last time
    this happened to me

  • Unknown Device in Device Manager for Lenovo G780 laptop, Windows 7

    Hails all.  I am trying to figure out what the Unknown Device is under Other Devices in my Device Manager.  I recently got rid of Windows 8 and put Windows 7 64-bit on my Lenovo G780 laptop.  I installed almost everything from the Lenovo site --- all of the drivers and such, software, etc.  I cannot figure out what this device may be.  The only external device connected to the laptop is a Kensington usb mouse.  Any ideas?
    I did run the PCI test program and the Motherboard test program that Lenovo provides and it didn't find any errors.  Windows Update hasn't found update/driver/software for the Unknown Device.  The Lenovo Solutions software only tells me to open Device Manager.

    Solved!
    Go to Solution.

    Welcome to the forum!
    Since Windows Update didn't pick up any missing drivers, I'm guessing you are missing a driver for a device that would be propriatary to Lenovo.  During the installation of Windows 7, did you install the One Key Recovery software ?  If not, the One Key Recovery button maybe triggering that exclamation mark in Device Manager since there is no driver to tell Windows what to do with that button.
    If that wasn't the problem you can try running Unknown Device Indentifier to see if that utility can indentify the unknown device.  The free program can be found at the link below........

  • "Device Cannot Start - Code 10" - Windows Vista Error, w/ 2nd Gen. Nano

    I'm having trouble with my Nano and Windows Vista. The computer is recognizing the iPod just fine and seeing all of my songs, but nothing will play and the diamond bar does not move. I can't hear previews online either.
    Under device manager, a yellow "!" shows up for the iPod, and it says "Device Cannot Start - Code 10" when I check. All of my drivers and updates are current as of today. So is iTunes. Any thoughts?
    It worked before, but now it's not.

    This is a reasonably common error on a PC when there is a problem with either a USB device, your USB cables or hardware, or the system drivers.
    In a case where, as you say, the device works properly with other computers, the problem is more likely to be with the hardware or drivers on the computer you're trying to connect to.
    See this site for some hints:
    http://www.pchell.com/hardware/usbcode10.shtml
    I found it via a web search; I don't have any connection to that site.
    The good news is that your iPhone is probably fine.
