Have you ever come across an "Unkown Device" in Window's Device Manager and have NO CLUE what in the world it is?
Windows sure doesn't know!

I found a great little tool that will tell you the device codes & descriptions, instead of the generic ? that Windows shows you. It's great when repairing/setting up a system.

Unknown Devices 1.2 for Win9x/ME/Win2k/XP (392 kb) Updated: May 25, 2003 Homepage Author: Halfdone Development Description: This program helps you find what those unknown devices in Device Manager really are.

There is a link on the Homepage to another site, with more frequent updates to the included PCI list.

Please download the latest pci list from Craig Hart's Page
(3rd download from the top).

He also has a nifty troubleshooting program available
