driver issue - PCI memory control Solved

Question

Hello,
I have a problem with a driver I can't find, it's the "PCI memory control" in my device manager that appears with a question mark.

So, I don't know if it has any relation, but I have no sound.

Thanks for helping me

Configuration: Windows XP Internet Explorer 6.0

This problem comes from Intel's turbo memory for Vista.

Windows XP does not support this system (under Vista it mainly speeds up startup), so there are no drivers available for this OS, no need to look for one!

However, Lenovo has published a driver that disables it. In reality, it installs a “virtual” driver for the turbo memory, so you will no longer have the exclamation mark in the Device Manager.

I should note that this driver works on any computer brand, not just Lenovo (I have a Toshiba portable and it works without issue). A driver essential for anyone downgrading their PC from Windows Vista to Windows XP.

The link: https://support.lenovo.com/fr/en/?filename=mobiles/7kip05ww.exe

To install:

Click the executable; it will install the driver files at the location "X:\DRIVERS\WIN\Turbodis", X being the drive letter of your main hard drive (by default "C:\").

Then go to the Device Manager, right-click on "PCI Memory Controller" and then "Update Driver...".

Then "Browse my computer for driver software" (or "Install from a list or specific location").

Click "Browse" and point to the previously specified folder ("X:\DRIVERS\WIN\Turbodis", X being the main drive letter, default "C:\").

The installation of the driver should start.

You will then have a device named "INTEL(R) Hardware Reserved for Future Use" under "System devices" in the Device Manager.

And there you go!

Hi, go to this link: https://www.touslesdrivers.com/index.php?v_page=29 Click on Start detection, follow the instructions and then you’ll get a page with all the drivers for your PC.

I adapted this 'dummy' driver that allows declaring the turbo memory to make the exclamation mark in front of the device disappear. It doesn't install anything, but it looks cleaner.

It doesn't work on all PCs, but only one line needs to be changed to adapt it to your hardware.

Those who are interested can contact me at jma@snum.fr
I will send them the file with the line to update.

Hello everyone,

I just upgraded my laptop to Windows 7. And like you guys I can’t install PCI Memory Controller. I have the drivers but it says it didn’t install properly. I think it’s a compatibility issue with Windows 7.
It doesn’t bother me too much that it isn’t installed, except that I can’t install Daemon Tools or Alcohol because of this problem.

If someone can help me with this little issue.

Thanks in advance.

I went a little too fast with my remark: actually in Device Manager everything is fine. I click on Storage controllers and right-click on PCI memory controller to search for a new driver. At the end of the installation, a message appears saying that it failed because the specified program requires a newer version of Windows (I just installed Windows 7).

I updated my Toshiba Satellite P200 RT7 laptop to Windows 7, and ever since, when I start my computer the memory controller doesn’t install. It leaves me a message when opening my peripherals. It seems everything is correct except for no hardware polling.
