Have you installed the nForce drivers?
http://www.nvidia.com/object/nforce_winxp_15.23.html
These are the base drivers for your motherboard.

Then try the GO driver again & post how that goes. It may be we need a specific version of the driver for your motherboard, I'm assunig this is something like an HP Pavilion dv9817cl

Are there still other missing drivers in Device Manager?

 

by: geek3Posted on 2009-06-17 at 06:39:17ID: 24647979

Master,
Thank you!  The driver  you linked to (http://tinyurl.com/2q6ss4)   installed and is working! ( maybe fill me in on how you found that....what was i doing wrong...?)
 - I still have 3 question marks in Device manager:  other devices>Base system device (3 times)
Also,  there is an exclamation mark under IEEE 1394 bus host controllor: the exclamation mark is listed besides the   OHCI compliant IEEE Host controller
Thanks for you help so far Masqueraid (i like to just call you Master for short!)

No luck with this chipset ( nForce 630a - Windows XP/2000)
the install finishes ok ( i deselected the video and the nic since those are already good) but the device manager question marks remain.
?
