Hi. Can anyone tell me how to figure out what device / driver my computer is detecting? System: AMD 1GHz Iwill 266K Motherboard Windows ME 256 Megs Zip Zoom SCSI card in ISA slot IRQ9 Maxtor Ultra DMA ATA PCI card (cd-roms on it) 2 IDE hard drives Firewire card USB on board I had to reformat the hard drive recently, and when I started putting components back (IRQ nightmares), after updating the mouse driver, it detected unknown new hardware. I hadn't just installed the SCSI Zip drive card, and it's already listed. I also had the Maxtor PCI ATA card already in there, and it's already listed too, so I don't know what this unknown device is. The only clue I have is with System Information, under components -> problem devices, it says: Unknown device - SCSIADAPTER\*DFMPD01\0000USB&VID_07C&PID_A00&INST_0. This gets listed under components-> USB also. Can anyone tell me device this might be? I did have a little trouble with the system hanging as I installed the USB Compact Flash reader drivers... could that be it? Any help would be apprectiated. Thanks Frankin Lum

Did you try to delete these 'things' to see what happened? Johan

Just delete it and reboot. See if it redetects it. Maybe you will get a better clue if it trys to search for drivers.

you might just have a "full house", did that configuration worked before? Regards Miro

Thanks for the suggestions; yes I did delete it, but it just came back as uknown device again. BTW, what is a "full house"? Thanks again, Frank

read response number 3... explains good the "full house" http://computing.net/windowsme/wwwboard/forum/6352.html Regards Miro

A full house-- Well that would explain my IRQ problems; thanks. Now if I could only figure out my mystery device :p . -- Frank
