How can I find a driver update for uninstalled "Other devices" Driver?

What driver update can be used for Other devices?  I found a yellow exlamation point in the Device manager, under Other devices.  Windows tried to find an updated driver, but it couldn't find one.  I uninstalled the driver; it was a universal serial bus (USB) controller. I have Windows 7 OS.

In Devices and Printers, there was a yellow exlamation point under the image of a computer labeled Unknown device.   I didn't like that my computer was called an unknown device.  Now, after deleting the driver in the Device Manager,  there is a yellow exlamation point on the image of Ellen's PC.

Which model is this? As to determining the identity of the device, this can be done in Device Manager: right-click the device, select Properties, then Details, and then Hardware Ids. What will identify the device is the VEN_XXXX and DEV_XXXX strings; if you can tell us those, we can look them up on pcidatabase.com.
