Unknown PCI Device - What is it?

[FishHeadswg]

I did a new install of XP on my computer but for some reason there's a PCI device that I can't find no matter how hard I look. I downloaded basically every driver on the Dell support page for XPS 410, yet it's still there.

Does anyone have a clue of what this might be?

Do you notice anything amiss? I mean, does everything that you think should work, work?

Do you have an X-Fi or some other discrete audio card?

I ask this because if I have mine installed, onboard audio shows as an unknown PCI device in my computer, even when disabled in BIOS.

Did you download the chipset driver(Intel inf utilities)?

Often times the unknown PCI device is something from the motherboard that was not installed. Try locating all the drivers for your motherboard and try to see which one it is.

You could use a utility like this one to help you identify the device so that you can look up a driver for it.

That looks like a cool utility there porcorosso.

Curious... Fishheadwg - what popup options do you get when you right click on the device?

I see that you don't have a "Ports" subgroup in your menu. Do you have any serial/COM or LPT ports? One of my machines uses a PCI card to add these to an otherwise all USB/Firewire machine.
