Sure Dan, all hardware drivers are installed and the devices are correcly
shown without any
exception. It is just an "unknown" device that is causing the "trouble".
I bought the PC 2nd hand, HD was damaged, so no imaging possible.
The PC works fine , without any further problems, just that little
irritating question mark in the
device manager that in fact does not harm proper operation at all.
I had only hoped that someone having insight knowlidge of this very
Compaq model could point me in
the right direction where to look in the compac driver base.

Hi,
After a new install on a new HD of win 98 SE , in the Device Manager I
find under other devices an
unknown device, both with yellow question marks.
I have installed the drivers for sound, display, mouse, keyboard etc.
etc. all working fine, and I
now wonder which device causes the a.m. entry in the device manager.

Regards, Hans

did you not consider ghosting the old drive onto the new one?

Unknown Device Identifier enables you to identify the yellow question
mark labeled Unknown Devices in Device Manager. And reports you a
detailed summary for the manufacturer name, OEM name, device type,
device model and even the exact name of the unknown devices. With the
collected information, you might contact your hardware manufacturer
for support or search the Internet for the corresponding driver with a
simple click. With this utility, you might immediately convert your
unidentified unknown devices into identified known devices.

You are suggested to do a thorough driver backup with My Drivers after
you have identified all the unknown devices with their proper device
drivers software installed.


Supported OS: Windows 95, Windows 98, Windows 98SE, Windows Me,
Windows 2000, Windows XP and Windows 2003. Future OS are supported via
