    Unknown device stays unknown after downloading drivers.


    Just had to reset my computer. An old Xbox 360 wireless receiver I've been using for ages always needed to get drivers installed when plugged in to a new PC. Usually i click update drivers select manually and browse the list of drivers til i get to the correct section. Xbox 360 peripherals. Then i download the drivers. This time the receiver stayed as 'Unknown Device'. I even downloaded updated drivers from Microsoft's website and still no luck. I checked that the unknown device is actually the receiver. Any help?

  2. X800 GTO2 = Unknown Device

    I flashed the BIOS on my X800 GTO2 last night and it is listed in the Device Manager as an Unknown Device. Is this normal?

    Unknown Device on ATI X800XL after 6.4 driver update

    Hi forum,
    I just updated my X800XL driver, (to cat 6.4) from the ATI driver site. After restart Win XP hardware wizard poped up with an unknown device, no driver found. I went to the device manager, and in the unknown divice properties, located on Redeon X800 series. Anyone got any idea what this might be?

    unknown "other devices"

    Hi,

    Unknown devices usually show up in the Device Manager when Windows is unable to identify a piece of hardware and attempts to provide a driver for it. An unknown device isn’t just unknown — it’s not functioning until you install the right driver. Most of
    the time Windows is able to identify and download drivers automatically. In cases where it is unable to do so, you'll have to identify and look for the driver yourself.

    Follow these steps to locate the Unknown Device:

    1. Press Windows Key + X and select Device Manager.

    2. You’ll find unknown devices and other non-functioning devices under Other devices. Each device with a problem has a little yellow exclamation mark over its icon.

    To check the Hardware ID of a device, follow these steps:

    1. Open the Device Manager.

    2. In the Device Manager, right-click the device, and choose Properties in the popup menu.

    3. Tap the Details tab.

    4. Select the Hardware IDs in the drop-down list.

    5. Search the web for the Hardware ID using your browser. You should be able to get the name of the piece of hardware associated with the unknown device.

    6. Get the driver for the device and install it normally.

    Let us know if you require further assistance.

    Regards.
