I dunno what it is. We can't see it. Chances are though, that it's some device that's part of the motherboard. Sometimes it's sound, sometimes it's video, sometimes it's modem... who knows what it is without having the specific details of your computer setup (make, model, motherboard, graphics card, etc....)

Have you installed the motherboard drivers to see if that helps?

Come on Spidey, you know the drill by now.

Details, details, details.

You could start by telling us 'where' this unknown device is showing up?, how are you informed?, is it in Device Manager?, have you invoked a virtual device?, - that sort of thing.

I 'v downloaded everything for Xp, But Vista Detects Auto except that Unknown Device in Device Manager.

Everything is workink properly Sound, Vga, Modem, everything i checked there is not Blue tooth on that Model.

Are you saying that you have gotten XP to work (re "I'v downloaded everything for Xp"), but not in Vista? If so, what device shows up in XP that is not in Vista? Also, remember, even though everything appears to be working, it may not be working to its full capacity without the driver and you won't discover what is NOT working until you've fully tested everything.

So, I'll ask again. Have you installed the motherboard drivers?

I had the same issue. I found it to be the HP Quick Launch Buttons.
