all "other devices" have exclamation points

After reformatting a machine using the o/s dvd xp, all "other devices" have the yellow exclamation point. See how I could not get on the net to solve this problem, nor has the upgrade to sp3, trying to use the CD and flash to install drives drivers and reformatting again and again, what other options are there for me to try? Thanks in advance people

The "other devices" will turn into recognized devices when their pilot programs are installed.  If the computer manufacturer provides a driver installation CD, it allows to install the drivers.  If this is not the case, use another computer to access the web site of the manufacturer of the computer and download Windows XP drivers for this model of computer.  Transfer using a flash drive or a CD.

  • My thunderbird (windows 8) essentially has stopped working. More than one minute to open an email - all other functions have similar delays. What should I do?

    For some reason, thunderbird (windows 8) essentially has stopped working. More than one minute to open an email - all other functions have similar delays. I tried to archive, but I get a message that says that a script has stopped working. He does the same in thunderbird safe mode. My old computer (XP) works very well. I can't find my profiles on windows 8 to rebuild the database world.

    Follow-up: McAfee was the problem. I contacted them via chat. Remotely, they took control of my computer and changed the settings. TBird works fine now.

  • RELOADED VISTA operating system CD - Mgr device has exclamation point in the SM Bus controller

    Pavilion a6400f with VISTA 32-bit Edition home premium. System would not start after HP splash page and all the diagnosis seems to imply things were OK. Inserted the VISTA CD and entered the product code and reload the Windows partition. Existing files seemed even after reloading VISTA, had to download RTL81xx REA:LTEK driver from HP support and internet and all site seems to work fine - charged 102 patches Windows system, including the chipset g31/33.  Everything seems to work EXCEPT having an exclamation mark in the device to OTHER DEVICES Manager - CONTROLLER of BUS SM. Right click on properties says drivers are missing.  I guess I'm missing chipset but can't seem to find the one that.  Troubleshooting Guide of HP who took me to the page of INTEL for chipset, but do not want to download a chipset with the warning below he followed.  A ran dxdiag in Start menu and and involves the g33/g31 chipset but see the drivers installed. Appreciate any thoughts...

    Interesting - no luck with this chip set no more BUT took the look to my file system on the hard drive and found that it still contained the windows.old directory of my reloading VISTA the other morning.  I thought I had done a full charge but does not have the format of the disc so appartently VISTA saved my old windows directory in windows.old.  In this folder is a file INF folder - I have seen nothing obvious in the folder, but on the installation of the SM BUS failed, one of the questions was point to a search folder.  I mentioned it in the windows.old.inf folder and the installation program found a software to install. Installer complained of not digitally signed data, but I said to continue and the SM Bus has been installed.  He removed the exclamation of OTHER DEVICES and placed SM BUS SYSTEM with Intel ICH9Family DEVICES with address of 2930. If I look at the properties of the SM BUS under details it shows the DRIVER VERSION 8.3.0.1008 with the date 2007-01-13, but under the driver Details button, it says no driver required.  I'm not sure what exactly it says but everything seems to work now, and I suppose to be sure I should save the file in case something like this happens again well probably just move to Windows 7.  Thank you very much for all your help and ideas - carried you me on my problem.

  • T41 - all 'other devices' disabled after XP Reinstall

    Hello

    Could someone please help.

    I have a laptop T41 / Type: 2372 / model: 4PG... running Win XP Pro

    Last weekend, I reinstalled the operating system using MS XP Pro disks I finally installed on this PC about 18 months ago.

    I noticed immediately after installation I couldn't connect to the internet.  When I went to the Device Manager, I spotted that everything under "other devices" has been disabled (Ethernet controller, network controller, PCI Modem, device unknown, video controller).

    I also noticed there is nothing under network connections and when I try to establish a connection, it fails (because the "other devices" are disabled I guess).

    I went on "drivers and downloads" page of Lenovo and installed everything that has to do with my PC (see above), but this made no difference.

    Can someone point me in the right direction that I suffered for hours and hours on this problem?

    Thank you very much

    / David.

    Hi and welcome to the forum!

    Installing drivers of lenovo for older machines can be a delicate, because each driver must be run twice in different places in order to install the device correctly.

    Assuming that you have run the installer for the devices mentioned for: -.

    1. Ethernet, you must go to C:\DRIVERS\Win\ETHERNET\PRO1000\Win32 to run the installer.

    2. network controller, C:\DRIVERS\WIN\WLLANINT\SETUP. EXE

    3. video controller, C:\DRIVERS\WIN\DISPLAY\SETUP. EXE

    And according to the resources of lenovo, the Type and model for your correct ThinkPad 2373-4PG.

    I hope this helps.

  • My (not router) usb hub no longer works with the new update, and when it's plugged in disables all other devices.

    As of October 11, 2012, my 7 port hub Belkin USB-To-Go is no longer recognized by Windows. It worked without problem until today when I installed updates. When I plug it in, nothing is displayed, but for some reason, USB ports are disabled. I tried it on several ports without result. I contacted Belkin, and it seems more likely to be a problem of driver within Windows.

    You need to tell what updates have been installed, since they are usually specific PC.

    Historical Windows Update appears.

    In the meantime, use a restore point for a time before this update

  • When I close my laptop, he kills WiFi to all other devices in my house, how can I stop this?

    I have a Toshiba Satellite

    If this laptop is to control the WiFi network then I suspect your power management has the lid lose the action defined in the stop / standby / hibernation.

    See Control Panel, power options, change the parameters of plan, advanced to change settings of power, power buttons & cover, action to close cover, battery - plugged.

    I might have this wrong, I don't see this element of the power management changes without your knowledge.

  • Windows 8 - device Base system under other devices

    Hello

    I just upgraded my cpu from 3930 k to 4930 k on a rampage IV Extreme.  By getting the system running again, I have at least 20 "Base System Devices" in the other devices section, with a yellow question mark.  I installed all Asus drivers again, but items still remain.  Could someone tell me they came and how to solve them.  Thank you.

    Thank you for your reply Ben.  I checked with the card mother Mfg and they had me to re - install the bios that did not work.  I decided to try to remove the 'Base system devices"that the computer was working well, even if they were all marked with yellow exclamation points.  There are 32 Articles, I deleted all the and the system works fine now.  I don't know what caused them to appear, as he must have had something to do with upgrading the processor, but at least the issue is resolved.

    Thanks again for your quick response,

  • How to fix my usb ports? Not correctly recognize the iPod and other devices of storage correctly.

    I had problems with getting my iPod classic 6th generation to be recognized by my computer windows 7.  It works very well but all of a sudden stopped working.  When I connect the iPod, it says on the product than its 'connected' and is in charge, but does not appear on "my computer" or on iTunes.  Now, I supposed that it was a problem with my apple product, but after putting in the store and plug both Mac and PCs, this worked fine, its clear that it is actually a problem with my specific PC.
    All software are up to date and I tried stop and start the unit. (Control Panel > administrative tools > services > device mobile apple).  The PC also recognizes the iPod randomly once in a while and I managed to restore the iPod to factory settings to ensure that there is no problem with the device itself.

    As stated earlier that the iPod is not visible in 'my computer', but when "devices and printers", there are two elements relating to the iPod, appearing almost as if it's two separate devices. the first is "apple ipod usb device" on the devices section and "Apple mobile device USB driver" in the section not specified.  When I click the first device it freezes the computer for awhile.
    I tried to move the ipod to different USB ports that make no difference.  However, when I put in a pen memory USB (TDK 4 GB), it initially also put it in unspecified, but with a yellow warning down logo on the left and when I moved my wireless usb key for my keyboard, it didn't work initially.  These two seem to have resolved themselves in Device Manager...

    In my view, there is a problem with my usb ports grateful drivers. Any idea what I need to do?

    Hello

    Thanks to community Microsoft can help you with your concern for Windows!

    You are facing problems with the USB ports on the computer.

    Method 1:

    Run the troubleshooter of material and check what is happening.

    http://Windows.Microsoft.com/en-us/Windows7/open-the-hardware-and-devices-Troubleshooter

    Method 2:

    As all devices have same also have USB device associated drivers. Appropriate sometimes drivers not detected after initial installation so reinstalling the drivers can fix the problems.

    You can check after uninstalling and reinstalling USB drivers if you are able to connect. You can disconnect all USB devices and then perform the following steps:

    1. click on start and then click Control Panel.

    2. click on system and Maintenance, click System, and then click Device Manager.

    Note: If Control Panel is in Classic view, double-click System and then click on Device Manager.

    If you are prompted for an administrator password or a confirmation, type the password, or click on allow.

    3. in Device Manager, double-click to expand the "USB Bus controllers", right click on the controller host, click "Uninstall" and click "OK".

    Check that if at all, there is an exclamation point on the pilot, it suggests problems with the installed driver.

    4. Repeat step 2 to uninstall all items under 'USB Bus controllers'.

    Then, restart your computer and Windows 7 will automatically reinstall all USB controllers.

    Method 3:

    You can update the driver from chipset from the web site of the manufacturer and then uninstall and reinstall the device driver updated from the web site of the manufacturer.
