"Unknown Device" problem with the wrong device id
Hi,
i have win xp pro sp2 (an old pc) with just 2 ports of usb 1.1 (motherboard ports) and i'm using Santana(or whatever) 802.11g usb wireless adapter it just worked so fine and driver's installation was so smooth but i'm sick of waiting 20 years so i could download something or copying files from/to usb flash drives so i bought a VIA 5 ports usb2 pci card, the printer worked with just one click and the read/write speed of flash drives is superb but when i connected the adapter to the card the widows tried to install the driver and after a "successful" installation it didn't work! (normal behavior you need to install the driver like 360 times so that the windows really recognize it) so i uninstalled the old driver and inserted the cd and installed it again and again but didn't work out. i opened the device manager and wallah! the device is called "Unkown Device" and it's under usb ( when it was connected to usb1.1 it was under network adapters with the name "802.11g usb 2.0 adapter"). i've tried everything even unrelated solution (like kicking the hell out of the pc - by the way DON'T TRY THIS AT HOME) i removed it from the device manager but keeps "installing" it under unknown device, tried installing the driver manually with the "update driver" and "add new hardware" with a specified path to the cd but it keeps saying that there is no matched drivers so i plugged it to usb1.1 and it worked, i returned it to usb2 and it didn't, tried other ports, the same, and when i open the proprieties of the "unknown device" the device id was "USB\VID_0000&PID_0000\..." it not realistic so compared with the id when it is connected to usb1.1 the id was "USB\VID_1435&PID_0427\..." makes sense i looked in the inf file of the driver's installation and it was as said when plugged in usb 1.1, so i'm stuck and the only way out was to change the inf device id to 0000 i tried but still "no match" (maybe i did it wrong i'm not expert at inf files), searched the internet but no relevant articles/forums so here i am, rock you like a hurricane (by the way i was kidding about the part were i kicked the pc but really DON"T TRY THIS AT HOME) i'll appreciate any suggestion thnx! |

Jack, does the manufacturer of the device have a website? I would look
there. "Jack" wrote in message ...

"Unknown Device" problem with the wrong device id
no actually the wierd thingis that the company's name is not written on the
usb but when i installed it with usb1.1 it says santana rev 2 (something like that). the model that is written on the usb is druc-u3 and it's the same as the cd label, i found the driver at my isp site, downloaded it and tried but nothing works and there is no company site. i found this link wich lead to the download of the software that manges the connection: http://www.soft32.com/download_173045.html i shloud've bought somthing more reliable. the question here is why windows have the wrong device id when it's connected to usb2 and the right one when connected to usb1.1?

Try the cabling section here. http://www.pcug.org.au/boesen/USB/USB2.htm High/full speed cable 480Mbps/12Mbps four wires, shielded on outside, D+/D- twisted pair. Low speed cable 1.5Mbps four wires, no shield, D+/D- not twisted (Might come with a keyboard.) So you really want to avoid cables without the shield. This is why the cables with transparent outer insulation are nice, because you can see the foil or braided shield underneath, and can verify it is a shielded cable. HTH, Paul |
