FINDING AN UNKNOWN DEVICE DRIVER


Sometimes you have to reinstall your PC or Laptop, right? and often you just don't know where's the hell is your driver disc. It happens a lot, and it's very annoying when you can't find the driver you need.
When the driver is not installed correctly, there's some problems could occur such as not optimal the performance of your pc, and even crash the whole system, which I’m sure not the first idea you reinstalling. Well, although most of the driver is can be loaded and detected by Wndows 7, but still sometimes you find some peripheral just not recognized. Usually you’ll see in the device manager as an unknown device, with yellow punch mark.

Device Manager Propery

There’s a simple way that you can try to solve this problem after trying some other things like opening the manual for the device type or ask the dealer to look for the correct driver, and when it’s all done and you still have the problem you can try to what I want to show you here.
First, just right click the device marked yellow in device manager, and simply click property. The propery block should be show up, and then click on Detail tabs, and scroll for hardware Id.
You will find some information there, and then you can just copy the first line or any line there, and paste it in google navigation box to search it. Usually, it will come up with information you need to find out what the type and brand of the device, where will make it easier for you to find and download the appropriate driver for that device.
Hope it works for you.
