    Well hello
    I have Win7 RTM 64-bit on my laptop, but i noticed that device manager has 1 unknown device. It appears to be the ACPI driver.

    Does anybody have this too? Or has someone a solution? Thanks

    A screenshot of DeviceManager and your system specs will help to troubleshoot the unknown device. Also check the DEVICE ID string for the unknown device by:

    1. right clicking on it, choosing properties
    2. selecting the Details tab
    3. selecting HARDWARE ID from the pull down menu
    4. right click on the second entry and choose copy
    5. paste that into your reply message here
