Other devices error code 28

I have a new Gateway computer and I have an error in device manager that I can
not get rid of. It is in Unknown Device--Other Devices and it has a yellow
question mark there--error code 28. I have uninstalled the device many times but
it keeps trying to install with hardware wizard many times--however, I do not
even know what the device is because it does not tell me the device name.
Gateway tech support can not seem to help me either. Everything seems to work
fine on the computer, at this time, but I would like to know how to find out what
the device is that is gving the error and how to fix it. Is it a USB device? An
internal flaw? Or do I just ignore it? Is there a way to detect and fix this
error? Please Help!!
Thanks
Joe

Using the EggHeadCafe, makes it extremely difficult to follow what you
are replying to.

You should probably have started a fresh thread, rather than replying to
a USENET thread from December 2006.

The thread you were replying to, was discussing the AMD AwayMode driver,
something apparently used on a Media Center PC.

"ACPI\AWY0001 device

This device appears to be part of supporting Away Mode in XP Media Centre;
I’ve seen it as an on/off option in BIOS on a few new machines. Away mode
seems to be like a lesser standby, where things can wake up faster."

You should at least identify the computer model number, so
people have some clue what the problem could be.
