there are some screenies...

Okänd Enhet = Unknown Device

Ljud = Sound

Äldre = Older

I have drivers for the CAM, so thats not a problem..

So its the

USB Device
Unknown Device

AND SOUND! :p

Maybe the Unknown Device is the soundcard? When I try to install it in the device manager it wants to install Gigabyte Network drivers :s, When I try to install sound drivers manually then I get bluescreen and nonthing happends.. (talking about the Unkown Device in device mananger now)

ok, I'll tell you how it usually works. Maybe it is helpful:


Windows XP (up to SP2) does not have support for the High Definition (HD) audio bus. Audio codecs (like the Realtek audio chip) and modems that use the hd audio bus are not found by Windows. There is no entry in the device manager (not even a yellow one).

The update KB888111_forSP2 must be installed in order to make Windows find the audio chip and the modem. After you have installed the hotfix, sound and modem devices appear in the device manager yellow marked since no driver has been found.
Sometimes, and I dont know why, the installation of the KB888111 fails. In this case, the entry "Microsoft UAA Bus Driver for High Definition Audio" is marked with a little yellow exclamation mark. (This has not happened in your case).

However, if the installation of KB888111 was successful, the audio and modem devices appear in the device manager.
Now you can install HD Audio Codec drivers (such as Realtek drivers) and enjoy sound.


Ok... in your case, KB888111 appears to be installed correctly but the devices dont show up in the device manager anyway. (Unknown device is not the sound card. The soundcard is something like "HD audio device").
I think there is something wrong with the KB888111, even if there is no yellow exclamation mark.

You could try the following:
Make sure that you have installed the right KB888111. SP2 must be installed and the KB888111 must be for SP2 as well (there is a not very well working version for SP1 as well). The hotfix is also dependent on the OS language. Make sure that you have fetched the right language version.
You can download it here http://tinyurl.com/yvpaet

You could grab a beta version of SP3 for XP since SP3 will have the KB888111 included.


If you achieve to install any KB888111 that makes the audio and modem devices show up in the device manager, you have won ;)

with the help of this
topic,1544,-FSC-s-System-Scan-Tool.html
you can figure out, what devices these are.
Then you can most probably find the drivers here
topic,23,-Drivers-for-Windows.html

Hi

I found a link today in the German forum. I think the guy (Siggi2108) is a FSC person because he was in almost all threads...

For sound you must first install Patch KB888111 (http://tinyurl.com/yvpaet).

Install the drivers in the following order (from device manager (enhetshanteraren)):

1) Chipset
2) Video
3) Kb888111
4) Audio
5) Modem
6) all other drivers...

Download all drivers (207 MB) from
http://www.amilo-forum.de/downloads/tre ... _winxp.zip


If you still have problems (like card-reader, Sound, WLAN etc) try this page with the info you get from Device Manager!

I have problems now with mine in VISTA.. http://forum.fujitsu-siemens.com/forum/viewtopic.php?f=92&t=29587&sid=cd829a12ae515701fd1113378b274658

Good luck!

Yeah, with pleasure !

I've just make the wifi ok :P

Can you help me for card reader and IRDA ?

the package contains drivers & setup, but for example, the setup process for card reader says that the reader isn't connected :shock: and abort...

Hello people,

I also have had to downgrade my laptop, due to irrecoverable videodriver problems under Vista (the dreaded nvlddmkm.sys problem).

Though there are many useful tips here, my solution was quite different and, except for the one "unknown device" (ACPI\SMCB0C2\1), have had no problems at all. Everything is installed and working properly, except for the IR remote control of course.

Here's what I did:
- I prepared a Windows XP Slipstream source. Made all necessary changes and followed this guide to slipstream the NVIDIA S-ATA drivers (These ones) into my XP source. I am not sure if that's absolutely necessary, but it worked and I won't go back and try again. :wink:

- After that, I went to DriverPacks.net and downloaded all driverpacks there. The creator of this site has made driverpacks that contain almost all drivers in existence. Not only that... the drivers are fairly up-to-date as well. For the Amilo, I downloaded all packs except for Graphics B and C and Sound B. You'll also need Driverpack BASE.

- Following the tutorial in this thread, I slipstreamed the packs into my XP source and after that, used nLite to create the ISO. Be sure to make this your LAST action before creating your ISO and do NOT commit ANY changes to your source afterwards. It has cost me one DVD before I found out that that can ruin everything (and that I should really start testing ISO's on virtual PC's first). :oops:

As I said, here I am, typing this on my fully functional 2528. :lol:
As I also said, the "unknown device" problem still exists, but this'll bring you up to speed. Everything else, including HD Audio, works. Only thing I had to install manually was the modem. Duh.

Note that you can use the ISO you created on every PC that has AMD and NVidia. :)
