    Re-installed Windows 7 - still missing some drivers

    I've just re-installed Windows so I can create a fresh backup image.

    I've downloaded as many drivers from the ASUS website to resolve the device manager issues (Scan forgot to give me my CD). I think I've got most of it sorted, but I still have 3 'Other devices' which I'm struggling to resolve. Essentially, I've downloaded ASUS motherboard drivers, and my graphics card drivers. That is all.

    Multimedia Audio Controller (PCI bus 3, device 4, function 0)
    PCI Simple Communications Controller
    Unknown Device (Port_#0007.Hub_#0004)

    I presume the first two are related, but I've installed all the motherboard drivers so I'm confused as to what they are. And the last one I have no idea what it is. Can someone offer some advice here?

    Thanks,

    Yao

    If you google the hardware ID's it should tell you what they are (device manager > device properties > details > drop down box > hardware ids)
    Someone left a note on a piece of cake in the fridge that said, "Do not eat!". I ate the cake and left a note saying, "Yuck, who the hell eats paper ?

    Multimedia Audio Controller (PCI bus 3, device 4, function 0) - HDMI sound on your GPU?
    PCI Simple Communications Controller - Modem?
    Unknown Device (Port_#0007.Hub_#0004) - Bluetooth?

    Hardware IDs as already mentioned are the way to go...

    Thanks for that. It turned out to be a bluetooth driver that was required. Very helpful.

    The PCI card was the Asus Xonar card.

    All fixed. Now to do a backup image.
