TPM drivers?

I'm using a HP nc6220 laptop with vista rc1. I'm trying to setup Bitlocker
but accordig to windows there is no TPM module present. I'm sure there is a
TPM module installed with winxp drivers, could this be the problem? Does
anyone know about vista drivers for TPM? Or is this a bug in windows?

Thanks for any response,
R.Demandt

Re: TPM drivers?

Mine wasn't seen until I got a Vista compatible BIOS. Check with HP to see
if they have a new bios for this machine. Some vendors haven't come out
with updated bioses...but i know lenovo recently published theirs.

Re: TPM drivers?

The TPM drivers would need to come from HP.

The TPM must be version 1.2.
Also, you probably will need a bios upgrade, if it is version 1.2
