    I just installed Vista 64
    There is still a device which cant be installed and is coming as unknown device in Device Manager.
    I have attached a picture of Device Manager showing the product location and ID

    Ive already installed Bluetooth Drivers and bluetooth seems to be running fine

    But yeah one thing is funny, on RivaTuner I cant see the fan controls, maybe this is the driver of the monitering device

    The built in one doesn't support every function, and they'll end up as unknown devices. Try the latest toshiba ones, they can be found here

    I have no idea. I've tried it several times, with different drivers and OS's. Never worked.

    I'm gonna use 163.69. They're the latest WHQL drivers, and they have good performance.
