1207327 2011-06-06 02:12:00 Hi Guys
My Asus N20A notebook running Vista Home Premium has started throwing up a download drivers window for my "unknown hardware". I have googled this phenomonen but haven't been able to understand the remedies for it. Is there someone here who can, in plain language, help me, please?
Many thanks in advance.

1207328 2011-06-06 02:57:00 Go to its entry in device manager then go to the details tab. Change it to hardware ids. Copy and paste whats there in google Speedy Gonzales (78)

1207330 2011-06-06 05:13:00 Thanks Speedy and Agent, unfortunately doesn't help much as it refers to the Mother Board drivers not having been downloaded????? Apart from this thing the computer is running fine. It will be due toi be scanned by Asus soon to upgrade drivers etc so I think I will ignore it until that happens and see if that fixes it.:confused: theother1 (3573)
1207331 2011-06-06 07:27:00 Well to know what driver you need to install, you need to find out what the "Unknown Device" actually is.

Go into device manager, and find the "Unknown Device" then copy its device IDs here so we can find out what it is.

1207332 2011-06-16 09:24:00 There is a small program "Driver Max" which is used to back up all the drivers. It also looks for them and identifies "unknown device" using an online database.
It is a free download.
