What is a "Category Manager?

Device Manager - Unknown Device Identifier?

  • Im using Windows XP Pro and within Device Manager I have a yellow question mark for an "Unknown Device" under the "Other Devices" category. How do i go about identifying what this device is? I dloaded Unknown Device Identifier v 5.02. It lists off all my devices but makes no indication which of these items IS the unknown device. Quite useless really. Thanks.

  • Answer:

    In device manager right click the device in question and click properties, in the pop up window click details, then in the drop down menu select hardware id, google this hardware id and you should find out what it is. For example google pnp0510 and you would find out it is the infrared header on my motherboard
