What is a Base System Device

I have 3 devices under device manager that have a yellow exclamation point called Base System Device.  Does anyone know what this means?  I need to update the drivers.

 

 I'm using a Vostros laptop 1400, with winxp pro

 

Thanks

    Did you happen to reinstall your OS?

    If you did, that means that you did not download the chipset drivers and install them.

     

    You can find them HERE.

    Thanks for the info.

    I ended up finding out that I needed the drivers for the sd slot.
