Cheers for that! I did read some threads on other forums where some people had the same problems yeah. They didn't say if they managed to install all of the drivers or not though.
I integrated Service Pack 2 on the install cd too so that's installed. I think I installed DirectX 9.0c first too. I can't quite remember. I'll double check later. I'm probably gonna install XP and run through everything again anyway cos I tried a few different Conexant Audio drivers which were really buggy. Installing the Intel INF file last did fix the Sm Bus Controller but nothing else. I've been looking at the Vista Device Manager too but I don't really know what type of device a "Base System Device" is. It's too vague! I know the Card Reader hasn't had any drivers installed on XP yet so it could be that. Is a Card Reader a Base System Device though? Doesn't really sound like it! I may have everything I need installed anyway... I just don't know. I need the XP installation for audio work. I have an external soundcard which I'm sure will install fine. I'd like to have the Conexant card available too but it's not necessarily crucial. I'm just worried that leaving these unknown devices driverless will cause instability.
