identifying hardware
Hello. Since a while I have a problem with some mysterious unidentified that windows have found. Whenever I reboot, it nags me displaying a notification that new hardware is found, but I can't figure out what hardware it is referring to and I can't find a driver either. In the Device Manager it's listed as 'Unknown device'. In the properties of this Unknown device, it's location is listed as "on Intel(r) 82815 Graphics Controller". I've tried downloading/updating with the drivers for the intel for the 82815 chipset, but that doesn't seem to work either. Does anyone know how to identify what kind of hardware I'm dealing with here and where to find a driver for it? Thanks in advance and kind regards, Niek |

From he

The graphics adapter will not work properly without the inf files installed first. When I try to install number 3 it says: "The current operating system supports the Intel chipset devices on your system. No INF update is needed." But I see now that when I try to install number 2, it says I already have a newer driver installed. I installed the old driver anyway and now the 'unknown' hardware seems to be correctly installed (no more red or yellow icons in the device manager). I don't understand what kind of new hardware this is though and why it was somehow suddenly detected (I didn't add any new hardware or anything and no software either as far as I can tell). It has installed two 'Unknown' devices listed as: Intel(r) AIM External Flat Panel Driver 8 Intel(r) AIM External TV Encoder Driver 2 Well... anyways... the nagging about new hardware being found is gone so that settles it for me.
