    I hope this is in the correct forum.

    Long story short I was doing a utility search & saw one that would show you exactly what those unknown devices were in your device manager so you would know what drivers to get to make them known devices.

    Stupid me didn't download it right then as I was "on a mission" for something else. I lost the link & cannot remember the program name.

    Has anyone here ever heard of a utility like this & if so, know where to get it?

    I have 2 unknown devices in my device manager & I cannot figure out what they are so I do not know what software drivers to get for them.

    Thanks.

    It has no Vista support & I've looked at a few others, but only one, now I cannot find, would tell you exactly what was behind the exclamation point & help you located the driver for it.
