However, some hardware will appear as "Device Unknown", in which case, I go to "devid.info" and copy and paste the Device ID.

Quote from: Allan on July 28, 2010, 05:46:14 AM Sorry, I probably wasn't as clear as I could have been. When I said I go to "devid.info" I meant type that into the address bar of your browser. RubiK Quote from: RubiK on July 28, 2010, 06:52:23 AM Sorry, I probably wasn't as clear as I could have been. So it's the URL http://www.devid.info, right? ::fires up a virtual machine to open up this URL, in case it's malware-infected:: Hmmm... .... You know what? Code: [Select] / \ \ ___> \ (__O) \ ([email protected]) \ ([email protected]) \ (__o)_ \ \ \ This is actually pretty dang awesome! http://www.devid.info/en/ Is a OK site. Example. Enter Tosiba PC Card ..and you get a NICE list of possible drivers.

That way, it'll only give you the driver you need Quote from: RubiK on July 29, 2010, 02:51:52 AM Or you can copy or paste the Device ID from the device manager.

I am missing something here.Sorry for my uselessness but I'm not sure I understand what you need clarifying.. Quote from: Geek-9pm on July 29, 2010, 09:11:46 AM What does that mean? If your install of Windows can not find it in the local database, it becomes an "unknown device". Please explain. I am missing something here. The VendorID string is still listed on the details tab of the properties of any device in device manager, regardless of wether there is a driver installed.I didn't know! http://geek9pm.com/png/device_id.png Why didn't anybody tell me? |
