ACPI Driver

Hi! :)

I am running XP x64 and after installing it, I found
that it runs smoother for me than the 32 bit version
and of course, I can see all 4 GB of my RAM.
And Windows XP64 does have SP2 installed.

I have a Lenovo Y530-40516GU laptop, but what
I'm looking for probably isn't Lenovo specific.

Anyway...

After installing and looking at Device Manager,
I found that a few devices were "Unknown".

I was however, initially able to find XP64 drivers
for all but two of them, as I looked first, to see
what might now install okay and got those
drivers ahead of time.

All except two of them, that is (in the Details tab):

1) ATK\0100 (which is for the HotKeys, I believe).
I did however, find a driver that worked for
that device, so if anyone needs it, I would
certainly be happy to pass it on. This driver
is not Lenovo specific, but I can't say which
other machines it will work on. But I know
that it is a common issue for folks after they
install XP64.

2) ACPI\2004\0 (which is for Virtual Power Configuration).
I cannot find a driver for this one and have been
scouring the Internet for days now! Does anyone
have this driver? From what I understand, it will
affect the battery life of my laptop greatly! I have
not tried the laptop unplugged yet, since putting
XP64 on, but from what others have reported,
battery life goes down significantly without this
driver installed.

I doubt that the driver has to be Lenovo specific,
but that is of course possible. And Lenovo does
not support XP x64. I have tried the XP 32 bit
driver, as well as the Vista 64 bit driver and
neither of those will work for me.

And of course, as I said, if anyone needs Driver #1,
please just let me know (you can use the email address
here as well) and I would be glad to send it on on you! :)

Thanks in advance! :)

Nietzsche, was a liar, cheater, promiscuous homosexual
and basically a self-depracating, "free for all" type
person. But atheists love him, because he promoted
atheism and the idea that belief in God is irrational.

I find this interesting, since it proves my claim that
atheists are always self-contradicting in their beliefs,
since one after another, they always end up doing
exactly that!

Let's look at what else Nietzsche said...

"The irrationality of a thing is not an argument
against its existence. Rather, a condition of it."
