Did a clean install of XP Home. In system/devices I now have an
unknown device. I have repeatedly tried to install it, no luck.
All my hardware is working.
Below is the info from device manager.
DEVICE TYPE: Other Devices
MANUFACTURER: Unknown
LOCATION: on PCI standard ISA bridge
PS: the driver is not (and will not install) installed and the status
message says the device is NOT INSTALLED.
When you say the driver will not install, where did you get the driver?
The driver for this item would be included on your motherboard chipset
drivers. Did you install the motherboard drivers? If not, you need to
do so.
Never get drivers from Windows Update. Get them from:
1. The device mftr.'s website; OR
2. The motherboard mftr.'s website if hardware is onboard; OR
3. The OEM's website for your specific machine if you have an OEM
computer (HP, Dell, Sony, etc.).
Read the installation instructions on the website where you get the
drivers.
To find out what hardware is in your computer:
1. Read any documentation you got when you bought the computer.
2. If the computer is OEM, go to the OEM's website for your specific
model machine and look at the specs (you'll be there to get the drivers
anyway)
3. Download, install and run a free system inventory program like Belarc
Advisor. The older Aida32 is good for this, too.
