This unknown device is your Ageia PhysX card.  Try loading THIS driver <ADMIN NOTE: Broken link has been removed from this post by Dell> for 64 bit or  32bit

It's under other devices and it says PCI Device, according to the description its my Phys X Ageia card which I have downloaded the drivers for and installed but still nothing.

All it says is PCI Device, what would u like selected from the drop down menu?

Davet50 · Answer

select the hardward ids. is should give a listing that looks like this... PCI/VEN_1002&DEV_XXXXXXXXXXxxxxxxxxxxXXx  This is only an example.

On a side note. Unless you are running 7xxx series of Nvidia cards the PhysX board is not really any help at all. Nvidia bought Ageia and incorporated their tech into the new drivers. Pretty much rendering the cards useless..
