Thanks.

I'm getting the exact same message. I just installed Win 8.1 Enterprise WITH the latest Boot Camp Software. Problem I have is...the message doesn't tell you WHICH driver you need, and the link just takes you to Apple's Downloads page.


What driver am I supposed to download and install? Windows' Device Manager doesn't show any issues, nor do the Windows logs.


Thanks.

Here are the two error messages that are prompting me to dowload drivers. I tried looking up the hardware ID's in Google, but, no joy...


Any idea of what is needed to be installed?


Thanks.
