unknown device in device manager
I installed windows xp media center on a XPS/Dimension 410. A driver shows up in the device manager under other devices as pci device with a yellow question mark. The properties show Device type: Other devices, Manufacturer: Uknown, Location PCI Slot 4 (PCI bus 7, device 3, function 0). This is what shows in the Details tab: Device Instance Id PCI\VEN_1971&DEV_1011&SUBSYS_00011043&REV_00\4&1B02CB0B&0&18F0. I don't have a clue as to how to locate this device to download the drivers. Any ideas?

If everything is working OK, ignore it and/or disable it. This is usually a minor issue. On one of my computers, it's the game port on my Creative sound card. It doesn't work with Vista, so I just disabled it since I don't use it . I found out what it was by googling the ID.
