DV6565US Device Manager

[Alex_Nedrev]

I have Windows XP PRO SP2 on this laptop..and on the manufacturers website windows xp isn't supported, but i've managed to get couple things working..except that theres nothing wrong with the laptop..everything works fine, video works nice, basically everything! no problems..i might even make a tutorial on how to downgrade this model to xp..anyways i need help with something..check my image of device manager..i have no clue what that means there..some base system device junk..anyone can help me with this? i would appreciate it..!!!

AND WHEN  THIS IS WHAT HAPPENS WHEN I RIGHT CLICK PROPERTIES ON "BASE SYSTEM DEVICE"

You are missing Ricoh Card Reader driver.

Btw_XP drivers from V6700TX will work for your model.
