Base System Device and Missing drivers
I have an Inspiron 1525 that I am currently running Windows 8 64 bit OS on. It actually works great much better than it ever did running Vista. It works so good I don't understand why Dell doesn't support this device for Windows 7 or 8. I have one problem I have one driver missing in my device manager it is listed as PCI bus 2, device 9, function 3 in the properties for the device does anyone know what driver I need to install to correct this any help would be greatly appreciated

Hi DOS76,
Dell has not tested Inspiron 1525 in Windows 8. You may also want to refer the below link:
http://dell.to/SQojxk
However since you have already installed Windows 8, request you to follow the below steps:
You can try doing a complete windows update which checks the latest drivers available from Microsoft site.
If this doesn’t work, you can use the below link to update drivers:
http://dell.to/ZdK9QU chipset
http://dell.to/WjVZDi Base system device
Then save this file and follow the below steps to run the file in compatibility mode:
(1) Right click the file and select properties.
(2) Select Compatibility tab, Check “run this program in compatibility mode for” option.
(3) Select windows vista and click apply.
If you have further questions please reply to the same post.

I download and Installed both of the chipset drivers last night after posting the intel driver didn't fix the issue but the other driver listed in chipset solved the issue I believe it was for my card reader which I hadn't tried to use to know it wasn't working. Thanks for responding back with the answer I appreciate it
