    Hey ppl i just formated my system and installed winxpprox64 and now whenever i start my computer it pops up in the bottom right hand corner that the system has found new hardware and when i check device manager theres about 7 or 8 yellow questionmarks and when i try to install them or use the update service it just says it cant find them. Now everything on my computer is working fine i dont have any external devices aside from an intelipoint mouse so i aint got no clue as to how to stop it anyinfo would rock guys CIAO!

    It is possible that the drivers for the system does not have 64bit drivers available. People have found that XP64bit is actually more of a pain on some systems then it is worth.

    If you have not posted yet, what are the specs of the system in question? Also maybe a screenshot in Hardware manager of the part that is showing the problem devices.

    I usually hit Prt SC (Print Screen) key, and go into paint and paste the screen shot, then cut the part out I want (usually the good part), then do a "New" for new paint project, and paste the cut portition I cut out of the screenshot. After I save the .jpg, I resize for Handheld PC (Right click, and choose "Resize Picture").

    This always works for me and never had problems.
