    Unknown Device Driver Cannot be found please help!
    « on: January 05, 2016, 10:59:59 AM »
    Hi Guys, hope you all are fine,

    I have an old HP DV6000 Laptop but since I installed Windows 8.1 on it there is a driver called 'Unknown device' in my device manager I googled a lot for unknown device driver for HP D6000 but cannot find It I had Windows Vista on it previously and did not have this driver missing. My laptop is also compatible with the Windows and meets the requirements but still can't figure this driver out :( even the webcam is working, It does not affect my laptops performance or anything it is just in my head that I need to fix that missing driver. I installed Driver pack solution 2015 online and in Driver pack it finds the driver but when I press download it says 404 error not found :|.

    I would appreciate a lot if someone can help me in solving this issue. Thanks in advance.

    Note: I am new to this forum and this is my first post so admin if any mistakes forgive me. :)
    This is from where I got the driver installing software driver pack: http://www.filesmag.com/2014/12/driverpack-solution-2015-drp-15-free.html

    The "Unknown device" is probably the laptop's IR Receiver. IR is a relatively niche tech that isn't used very often when it comes to laptop communication. Even in it's heyday it was a pain in the *censored*.


    Also, "Driver search" Style software is useless at best.
    I was trying to dereference Null Pointers before it was cool.
