Is the modem, data/voice/fax? Some require additional drivers for those
functions that if not installed could show up as unknown devices.

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.

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

It's really a pity Shadow, but the UDI.exe did not find any unknown devices.
Nevertheless UDI seems to me an excellent program for this kind of job, but apparently not for my
little problem.
I think I better stop worrying about it.
