    Have a sony vgn-n365e that i've just reinstalled vista 32, gone to the support site http://esupport.sony.com/perl/model-home.pl?mdl=vgnn365e
    downloaded every driver and it's still showing one unknown device in manager. I have the memory stick and the sd slot as well as wifi. I'm guessing it may be smbus controller although i thought that would have been included in the motherboard/chipset driver.
    Any ideas?

    EDIT Solved. All I can say is; "What the hell is Sony Firmware Extension Parser Device"???

    I used driver easy

    I think its something to do with the hotkey buttons (could be very wrong here). Sony laptops are the worst for driver finding, always a nightmare trying to change OS or even restore the original OS without using their version as their support site is absolutely shambolic! sony quality eh :rolleyes: .Quality of an emachines with a expensive pricetag :P
