Windows 7 64-bit drivers for the m15x (not M15x)

Windows update finds nothing.

Should I try to install the chipset again?

Give it a try. I don't know why I never got this problem.

Hello,

I just installed Windows 7 aswell and i got the same unknown drivers. I'll try figure it out what they are but as for now i have another problem. I installed the 186.81 drivers from nvidia and it detected my GPU correctly but for some reason, i do not have the PowerMizer option in nvidia's manager. That being said, my gpu is always at full clocks. Anyway to force powermizer or other alternatives?

Thanks

EDIT : concerning the unknown drivers, doing a windows update fixed 2 of them for me (out of 4).

Use this to enable Powermizer. LINK

That worked. Thanks!

You could try reinstalling the Vista 64x drivers for Bluetooth (from your MyHive) - that fixed the last 2 unknown "Base System Device" for me. Also, you could try reinstalling the card reader drivers.

Hope this helps,

Try to disable it and see if the usage goes down.

OK, So I reformated again, Installed everything step by step, I think, and in device manager I get this:



Any suggestions?

The Base system devices belong to Ricoh I believe (The memstick stuff).
You'll have to download them because windows can't find them.

Hey guys I've got a slight problem that I haven't been able to fix. I have an Area 51 m15x and just upgraded to Windows 7 64x from Vista 64x. Thanks to your guide dhoang I was able to get most things back in order. However I have trouble changing my wallpaper. They only response I get is the confirmation sound of changing themes. Anyone else having this problem?


Thanks

A friend of mine (on 32 bit Win 7) had this same problem of hearing the switching sound but no actual change, but it was resolved when he upgraded his video driver (which seems to be a little shaky with the m15x from what I have seen from others).

That aside, I am not very intelligent when it comes to CPU's and OS types so I have a question - my m15x has an Intel Core 2 Duo T8100 @2.10 GHz and have win 7 32 bit installed - would a 64 bit version work for me? I guess I never understood the requirements for a 64 bit OS. I mainly wanted to do this because all the drivers I ams eeing from AW are 64bit versions, as is this guide. Thanks!

Yes, win7 64-bit will work on your Intel Core 2 Duo. You're welcome!

Sounds like an OS problem. Might be that your themes are corrupt or something. Try creating some new themes.
