Unknown device

[rebell1952]

In case I wasn't clear, it was Device Manager that was reporting the unknown device and no details of any kind were available. I had been getting notifications that there was an unknown device and Windows 7 recommended that I disable the device, which I did. After downloading "Device Doctor" I enabled the device to see if DD would find it, it did not. But, after doing the scan (and posting my question) I rescanned for hardware changes and the "unknown device" notification disappeared and I can find no device listed in any category that was not there before, so it remains a mystery. Windows 7 is like that, it does a lot of weird stuff at times. Currently, it is not recognizing my internal "G" wifi card, but once, when I started in "safe mode w/networking" the OS loaded the driver and the card worked fine, until I left "safe mode" and it hasn't appeared since in any mode. But since my machine (a Compaq laptop) is out of warranty, HP will not talk to me about the problem. Anyway, thanks for your time.[/i]
