I upgraded Dell inspiron 1525 from Vista to Windows 7. Then I found two Base System Devices under Other devices in Hardware Device Manager had no drivers installed. I can't tell what they are so I can't look for the drivers.

I googled, some said they were card readers. I am not so sure.

the same page I had stumbled on. The problem is I need to identify what drivers are missing before I can take further action. I have the CD from DEll but just won't install everything.

up in the Windows Updates. Check the user manual to see what devices you have. Did you run the Windows 7 upgrade advisor?

It was a Vista system and the laptop was about 2 years old only. I have supposed somehow it would be all right. I have set the Windows automatically update the drivers for me anyway. Perhaps I need to contact Dell, the manufacturer.
