Hello everyone,
I'm stuck on a problem I've been dealing with for a while.
I've found quite a few topics discussing the issue on this site, but all have more or less different answers. I've had a lot of trouble with my PC, so I reinstalled windows XP pro on the laptop, a TOSHIBA satellite L300D - 23U, and then I reinstalled the appropriate drivers for sound, graphics card, etc., etc., etc...
However, for the past few weeks, I haven't been able to find a driver for the SM bus controller.
All the topics talk about Intel Chipset; I don't really know what that is...
My processor is an AMD SEMPRON.
I've installed SIW to get my configuration details.
I also went to alllesdrivers.com, and they list this device as "unknown".
I should mention that I checked the Toshiba website for driver downloads, but I don't know which one to choose; it's all gibberish to me...
Thanks in advance for your help

In the Device Manager, right-click on: "SM bus controller" (where you have the yellow exclamation mark) properties => details.
In the dropdown menu, select: "hardware ID".
Post the information. (sequence of numbers and letters)
copy only the first line, that's enough. -

It's an AMD chipset and not Intel.
You need to install this driver manually.
http://d6.devid.info/drv/74/ven_1002_dev_4385.zip
Create a new folder on your desktop, download the driver, place it in the new folder, and extract the driver.
-Open Device Manager, right-click on: "SM Bus Controller" => "Update Driver".
-Check: "No, not this time".
-Click "Next".
-Check: "Install from a list or specific location".
-Click "Next".
-Click "Browse" and select: the folder with the extracted driver.
-Restart the PC. -
last small question,
it is recognized now but when I go to properties, it says
"No driver is installed for this device.
If you are having problems with this device, click on Troubleshoot to start the troubleshooter."
is this normal? -

Hi,
the bus controller SM corresponds well to the chipset.
Do you have any yellow question marks in the Device Manager? If so, where?
Right-click on "My Computer" then choose "Properties", tab "Hardware" then click on the "Device Manager" button -
Thank you for your quick response,
so when I go to "system", "device manager"
I have "? other device" with a big question mark in front
and in this other device,
I have "?! SM bus controller" with a big question mark and a little exclamation mark. -
