"Unknown Device" under device manager
OK, so I uninstalled my computer's two "USB root hubs" under device manager
in order to attempt solve an issue with a webcam. Now, they appear as "Unknown Devices". Is there a way I could fix this so they are listed appropiately? I also attempted to delete the two uknown devices and have the computer search for new hardware, but they appear listed the same when found. Any ideas?

Let me get this right: In an attempt to solve an issue withg a webcam, you deleted all your USB root hubs. NOw you want to know how to get them to appear properly. If this is the case, here is the fix: Reinstall the buggers if you want them to be listed correctly! By the way, how many other USB devices stopped working after you deleted the root hubs?

"Unknown Device" under device manager
Use the update driver tab for each unknown devices and look in the list and
pick the one for your usb That would be the right choice to me for the fix. Because when you uninstalled them Vista does not remove the drivers from the driver dat file unless you tell it to and you did not remove them. So go look. "Kris" wrote in message ...
