Unknown Devices

Beta

New! You can get a beta version of the next Unknown Devices with Windows Vista support. I will be posting new beta versions as features are added but please give it a shot and let me know if you have any issues at catfish@halfdone.com. The beta version works with Win95, 98, 98se, 2000, XP, 2003 and Vista.

Download Beta 1.4.20 (June 2, 2007)

Added pastebin upload option. See http://www.halfdone.com/pastebin/?id=1-F94 for example
Added Zip file support (Don't extract DeviceLists.zip). Future version will allow using zip or not.
Now works on the device lists in memory, in most cases will detect faster, expecially from older systems and slow drives (like floppies) at the expense of using more ram.
Improved Win9x detection (Thanks Cliff).

Finally fixed the crash that would happen on shutdown
Switched to usbdevs.txt from SIV. Future version will allow using either usbdevs.txt or usb.ids
Added more computer details like Chipset and product key

I also setup new forums! Visit http://forums.halfdone.com, where you can post comments and bug reports about the site and Unknown Devices. As always you can still email me directly if you wish otherwise.

Description

Unknown Devices helps you find what those unknown devices in Device Manager really are.

By checking Device Manager for unknown devices and extracting information from it, this program attempts to figure out what the device is. You might not have to open your case or look up random numbers off of PCI cards to figure out what they are.

Program supports Win95, 98, 98se, Me, 2k, XP and 2003 but not NT. It also attempts to support future OSes.
It runs fine from a CD or floppy. It's free for personal and (especially) business use. The program contains no adware, spyware, malware, popups, or whatever is the latest name for junk software. If you want to add it to a cd collection or magazine that is fine, just drop me an email.
