How to find vendor and model of unknown drivers 2 answers

They know this driver has dependencies so it's likely that we must install some chipset driver first and then if the SM Bus is in a second driver to reboot and continue with the next. I have yellow marks under the Device Manager for SM Bus Controller. 'This device is not configured correctly'. Does this mean that I need to uninstall drivers and reinstall the proper drivers? And if so where do I find the proper drivers? I have a cd that has the drivers for nVIDIAnfORCE2 which has drivers for USB 2.0 MS,SD & SCR Audio Network.

I'm having a problem with the SM Bus controller. it appears with an explanation mark in Device manager. I would install the driver manually but i'm not sure which is the right one. I don't know what device is that actually. How can i know? It seems like it's a known problem but i didn't find a good answer for my question. I'm using Windows 8.1 64-bit:

Gigabyte Z97-d3h MoBo.

The device driver uses ACPI SMBus control methods to communicate with SMBus hardware as defined in the SMBus Control Method Interface Specification.
SM Bus - S ystem M anagement Bus. This is part of the chipset, and, as such, controller and driver issues for it are resolved by installing (or updating) your motherboard chipset drivers. Since you haven't given any information about the make/model number of your motherboard (other than it's an LGA 1155 with an Intel H67 chipset).

Hi, everyone. Thank you in advance for your help and attention to this matter.
I currently own a Sony Vaio VGN-N365E running Windows XP (it shipping with Windows Vista) and have noticed in the Device Manager that I have an alert about the 'SM Bus Controller' (I have posted a screenshot here). When right-clicking on the SM Bus Controller and clicking 'Properties,' I receive the following dialogue: 'The drivers for this device are not installed. (Code 2.'
So, I downloaded CPU-Z to find out exactly what type of motherboard I have and here is the screenshot of it. I have an 'i945GM.'
So, I went to Intel's website and used their 'Intel Driver Update Utility' to sort out my drivers and see what needs to be updated/installed. Here is a screenshot from the Update Utility, which basically says that both of my Intel drivers are perfectly fine.
In any case, I went ahead and re-installed the driver for the chipset. The file was called 'winxp_14324.exe,' if that helps.
So, does anyone have a suggestion of what I might do to resolve this issue? If additional information is needed, I will supply it. Thank you so much.
