Unknown Device?!
« on: January 25, 2009, 08:28:33 PM »
(I wasn't sure whether to put this in my "XP to ME Network" post or not...)

I rebooted my HP machine running Windows Millennium Edition after messing with some settings in Network settings and once it started, it detected new hardware but it couldn't find the drivers for it.

What I'm curious to find out is, what driver is required for this device? In "View Devices by Connection" it's under "Dial-Up Adapter" so it could be related to the P2P network. When I click Properties, it shows the following:

== Driver Tab ==

Driver Provider: <blank>
Driver Date: <blank>
Digital Signer: <blank>

No driver files are required or have been loaded for this device. To update the driver riles for this device, click Update Driver.

Anyone know how to find out what the drivers for this device are?

Thanks.

The driver is gone now and it's stopped appearing in the Drivers list. I don't know what happened.
