I have just installed XP on my old IBM Thinkpad (PIII500, 192mb ram). Everything went great, and the computer seems to be running fine.
I do notice however, that when I view the Device Manager, there is one entry under "Unknow device". When I double click on it the windows says the following;
Device type: Other devices
Manufacturer: unknown
location: on Microsoft ACPI-Compliant System
And under Device status, its says This device is not configured correctly.
All other devices seem OK;
Batteries
Computer
Disk Drives
Display Adapters
DVD/CD-rom drives
Floppy disk controlers
Floppy disk drives
IDE ATA/ATAPI controllers
Infrared devices
keyboards
mice and other pointing devices
modems
monitors
PCMCIA adapters
ports
processors
sound, video, and game controlers
system devices
universal serial bus controllers
I don't have the original disks for the computer. Nothing has been hooked up to the laptop yet (printer, zip drive etc.). The computer seems to work just fine, its just this unknow device that's got me thinking...
