Unknown device on Asus A8N motherboard

[milleron]

I had an unknown device in Device Manager after installing Beta 2 on my Asus
A8NSLI-Premium motherboard. It was on the PCI bus ("slot 12"), and under
properties, I could tell it was the ATK0110 thing that has something to do
with Asus's AI Booster. Under XP, one could get a driver installed for this
device by simply inserting the Asus system CD. Autorun started the
ASUSACPI.EXE program, and the driver was installed. This does not happen
automatically under Vista, and trying to run the program results in an error
that it's "not for this version of Windows." However, if you simply launch
that program in Windows XP/SP2 compatibility mode, it will run. It gives
some kind of access violation message, but it completes, and the yellow
"Unknown device" disappears from Device Manager where it's replaced by an
entry under "System devices" called "ATK0110 ACPI Utility."

Have you done the Windows Update? It may have the driver there. If not,
chalk it up as beta, and the driver isn't released yet.

No, I think you missed my point. If you just run the Asus program in
Windows XP compatibility mode it does work, does install a driver for this
device, and does remove the "unknown device" from Device Manager. I posted
this simply as a solution for other A8N series motherboard owners who may
notice the same problem after installing Vista.

I have an Asus A8N5X. My one unknown device (i.e. with question marks
along side) is a gameport (pnpb02f). I've found a driver but it fails to
load. Given I don't have a joystick connected on my system, I haven't
spent any real cycles trying to find a driver. However, if someone out
there could help...

i installed on asus A8n - E,

had a couple of unknown devices. One was the nforce 4 audio chipset which
fixed up upon installatin of nforce drivers, other was the asus atk acpi
utility as mentioned in the first post. Upon running windows update vista
found and installed this driver for me.
Didnt have a gameport as an unknown device because i already have it
disabled in bios.
