i did an upgrade from windows 7 professional to a lisenced windows 8.1, after the upgrade i discovered in my laptop within the device manager that 2 unkown devices under other devices are missing and i dont even know what devices are they and which is missing.
i installed xp on my dv5t however i still have 2 unknown devices in my device manager one of them is something about a keyboard it's confusing and when i log on to windows i always get the found new device window..... i also wanna ask you guys how can i make my bluetooth work in xp (since the software is only supported in vista) i also want to ask you guys (who installed xp on dv5t) , did anyone noticed that the sound only come out from the center of the speaker? i mean that the speaker is big (from the right end to the left end of the laptop) but the sound seem to come out only from the center part (wich wasn't happening in vista),
I am now reinstalling my laptop (HP Pavilion 14-v044tx Notebook PC) with new Windows 8.1 x64, where most of the drivers are installed, I am left clueless with these two.
I have installed Windows 7 Pro on my HP Envy 17-j188ez and after installing the drivers from the HP page I have still one unknown and one device which cannot start in the device manager:
After a recovery without the recovery disks and without the recovery partition I could install most of the drivers, but I can't find, or I'd say that there are some that I don't know yet.These are the descriptions that appear in Device Manager plus the Hardware IDS
I have an SL510 thinkpad and I have just installed windows 7 professional 64x. I noticed my wifi not working and in Device Manager there are a number of 'Unknown Devices' I have 3 'Base System Device' alerts, a 'Network Controller' alert and an Unknown Device....
This is my 3rd day since i bought this new HP probook 4540s [Product No. B9A39PA#UUF] and i like it, i made a clean install for windows 7 ultimate x64 and i've just realised that the hp drivers support page dose not has any drivers for the ultimate version, so i downloaded the proffesional drivers, now i have all devices are installed except two devices named unknown device
I am using ProBook 4530s. Last year I have installed Microsoft Home Professional 64 bit. Yesterday, I delete the partition of my linux system and after that I am getting the following error;
I also followed the steps for recovery, but failed. How? I put window DVD and restart it, after performing the initial steps, On the Install screen I click "Recovery option". I got the message the I have Window 7 Installed. After clicking next, it says that the window resovery option is not compatable with window. What to do in this case. I install this window in my home country now i am in China, where every window product is in Chinese. Second I have much more research data any i do not wish clean format in any case.
I just finished doing a clean install with the help of velocity's clean install guide.
Everything is normal, but I have "unkown devices" in my device manager. Also, the touch sensitive volume control above my keyboard works, but the graphics that pop up on the screen while adjusting the volume are not there anymore.
I have a brand new DV6T 1300 CTO, and here is the HP driver webpage. [url]
Does anyone know which drivers I probably need to update? Has anyone experienced this?
Here is a Screen shot of my device manager:
I called HP support thinking they wouldn't care if I did a clean install. The rep was sort of a jerk. He told me I need to buy a $30 recovery disk from them. I told the rep all I needed to fix was 2 little things, which arn't worth $30 in the first place. I mentioned the HP drivers webpage and asked if he would point out which drivers I probably needed to download to fix my problems, but he wouldn't tell me. He kept giving me the run around.
I did create both a backup disc and a recovery set before I did a clean install.
I just purchased a new probook 4540s core i5 with win7 x64 system.
Firstly, When battery full charged then turned laptop off for a few hours or next day it becomes 99% or 98% although its plugged in Ac power. Shutdown again for 1 hour and turn on it turns to 97%. Is that ok or there is problem in battery specially it shows that ( Plugged in, Not chareged ) so laptop should operate at AC adapter and battery remain 100%. Secondly, I have an unknown device can't find it as shown in figure below.
I can't put my MBP in to Sleep mode when DVD,or usb CDMA modem connected. It just turns on after few minutes. Is there any way to get normal Sleep mode without disconnecting USB devices?
I got XPS 15 (9530, Late 2013) couple of days ago with widnows 8.1 installed on it and since the day 1 I am running into a weird problem. All of my USB devices keeps disconnecting. Whether its my phone (HTC One M8) or my portable harddisks. I have tried multiple cables and the result is the same.
I tried connecting all of those devices on different laptops and they work fine except for my laptop. One more thing is that if I have my phone connected with the laptop, it charges fine however, I am unable to browse any file on my phone because it keeps disconnecting.
I have three usb ports, and none of them seem to be working. Although the devices work on my roommate's laptop, they are not recognized on mine. When I plug my flashdrive into hers, it lights up, but that doesn't happen on mine. I recently reset my computer to factory settings to try and fix other issues including the problem with the usb ports, but the usb devices are still not recognized.
I recently sent in my laptop due to problems of it not being able to turn on, and my battery and a/c adapter were replaced. I was quite happy. However, I do not want to send it back in even though it is under warranty. Since I am a college student, I really need my laptop. If nothing works, I'll send it back in over winter break so I'm not without a laptop during my studies.
My touchscreen is also not working, so how to fix that, here is my other post: [URL] ...
My M1730 cant boot to Vista. It says in red FAILED. Also says It cant find any bootable devices. I did do the test (The one where you press F8 I think) more than once.
I just got my Windows Vista Home Premium OEM disc from Newegg today, I left my original dell one in storage back in NY. It can boot from the disc, but it cant repair my laptop. So is the HDD dead or what? =/
I have a problem, which seems to be a common problem with Win 7 and bluetooth but I have been searching the far reaches of th einternet for 4 hours no with no luck.
My laptop finds the bluetooth hardware and installs drivers automatically, and says it is working correctly, but it cannot find any devices, it just says "searching" and never finds anything.
My XPS m-1530 is running XP-Pro, clean-installed via instructions on this forum. It runs perfectly . . . except for one thing.
Every once in a while, especially in the middle of a lengthy download, everything stops and the screen goes right to this message: No bootable devices found.
Error Code 2000-0141. This used to happen very infrequently, but now it is more often and scary. I have removed and reseated the HD twice.
I have a 6930G and I'm trying to figure out how to disable a hard drive in my BIOs. The instructions on the side say to press SHIFT+1 to disable or re-enable a device. But when I press it nothing happens.
I have had a HP dv5z w/ windows Vista Home Premium - 64 bit for two days now.
1) I have a wired USB mouse that I use since the touchpad is terrible. But everytime, I plug in this supposedley plug and play mouse, there is a message that says device driver is being installed and it takes a few moments before the mouse can be recognized. Is this normal?
2) Also, the day i got my laptop, i had to download Windows updates (the automated message on the control panel said so!) and installed them. I am not sure if its related but since then i have re started my laptop 2-3 times and there is a file check process that happens as a part of the start up and then just before the welcome screen comes, i get a message Step 1 of 3 - Configuring Updates - Do not shut down your computer.
How long is this going to happen and is this normal?

I cannot get certain types of audio output through either my headphones or my onboard speakers, even though all of my speakers are functioning correctly.
My headphones are connected through a USB device and my speakers are built into the laptop. Things that will play are System Sounds, Audio Configuration Tests, and the occasional youtube video for a reason I cannot identify.
Beyond that, there is no sound output. However, I have confirmed that both my onboard speakers and my headphones are working correctly.
I have performed a reboot, am in the middle of a malware scan, and checked all of my volume controls to make sure nothing has been accidentally muted. I still have yet to try uninstalling the driver and a system restore.
The only thing that changed on my PC before the problem occurred was connecting it to a TV via HDMI cable. In that instance, all audio was correctly rerouted to the TV speakers.
I keep getting USB Device not recognized on all USB ports on my laptop.
I am running Windows 7 (recently did a restore to clean up computer) service pack 1.
I refreshed the BIOS I tried deleting all drivers, shutting down, taking out the battery and restarting I tried refreshing all USB drivers I tried adjusting the power settings to ensure that all power save mode on USB devices was disabled
Still no luck. Once in a while I can plug something in and it will work for a bit then it becomes disconnected. I think this might be a hardward problem as no software intervention has worked.
