Hi,
                         I randomly check for unknown device. But to my surprise, my computer name is shown as unknown device and its installed date as shown as this novermber 18. How to check , what has been missing as drivers for the computer, which is working normally otherwise.

Boggin:
That's a new one for me.

What does it report when you right click on the PC icon and select Troubleshoot ?

Is there anything unusual showing in Device Manager/View/Show hidden devices ?

Do you have any restore points going back to when you last checked for Unknown Devices ?

Hi,
                   I have checked by right clicking on the icon and it shows the c: drive files in a different way. I tried trouble shoot in the right click menu, and it opens a dialog box, simultaneously trying to find drives for the device, but failing to install drivers.
                            Somehow, i could not enclose a print screen of the right click menu and also the diagnostic log from trouble shooting.
                                     But when computer starts, it does not look for any device or drvers.

You could try resetting the CMOS (BIOS) which can be done by removing the CMOS battery for about 5 minutes, but as this can differ from machine to machine, you would need to Google for the Service manual for your machine to see the correct procedure as it can also include switching jumpers on a Desktop PC.

Hi,
              Boggins. Sorry for late replying. You might have noticed the rain effects on Chennai city , in India has battered it totally making the city as an ISland.
                           All services, phone,mobile, communication , internet everything went dead including power. You might have seen about inundation the city has experienced.
                                 I could see a flash river flowing down the street in the speed of race car. You could imagine. The rain has forced everybody indoors and when we woke up next mornring , the street was clean with heap of road materials on the cement road.
                                    Every storage reached full and the resultant extra water flooding the street in the lower region, where it has engulfed the entire locality in its way rendering thousands without any thing to support their lives.
                                          My locality is safe but my relatives, friends have been totally cut off without any communication. Now everything is slowly coming to normal including internet. Hence  my late visit to this forum. Still the low regions has sea of water to be pumped out
                                          I am enclosing the txt file, of the properties in the device extracted from the problematic device.Just see what is wrong.
                                               I saw that there was a device driver of mcafee site advisor, with the name of the device code. There is no hardware id , but i enclose the details.
                                                 I uninstalled the mcafee site advisor, and still has the unkown device driver.
                                                        How resetting of bios would be responsible for this unknown device? Please see the enclosure and analyse to give solution
