Windows 7: Drivers

Hey guys



How do I know which driver I need if its names is Unknown Device, in the Device Manager?

Double click it, select and copy each of the hardware ids from the Details tab and paste into the search box on catalog.update.microsoft.com. You must use Internet Explorer. You may need to trim SUBSYS, REV, CC or VERSION components leaving something like PCI\VEN_1814&DEV_0301.

What if I couldn't find what I am looking for? inside Microsoft Update Catalog?

You can update drivers for your Intel DX58SO2 from here:
Intel® Desktop Board DX58SO2 - Overview

Then post the string you're searching for here.

PCI\VEN_8086&DEV_3582&SUBSYS_05621014

PCI\VEN_8086&DEV_3582&SUBSYS_05621014

Oh look it's the same >.> It says Video Controller & Video Controller(VGA Compatible)

I already fixed the the other 2 unknown drivers, thank to baarod(+Rep)


PCI\VEN_8086&DEV_24C5&SUBSYS_055F1014 - I downloaded this, Analog Devices Incorporated - Sound - SoundMAX Integrated Digital Audio.

But I don't know how to Update the Driver? I tried browsing it through Device Manager\Update Driver\Install from a list or specific location(Advanced)\Browse to desktop\Analog Devices Incorporated - Sound - SoundMAX Integrated Digital Audio\

But I am not able to click "Ok"(After Browsing to Analog Devices Incorporated - Sound - SoundMAX Integrated Digital Audio Folder)

Intel Integrated Graphics Device

What is Dekop Board DX58SO2?

Trim to PCI\VEN_8086&DEV_3582 and search again. I'm sorry but it will be bad news. Please see Graphics — Older Intel® graphics controllers and Microsoft Windows 7* operating system

The file you downloaded is a compressed cabinet file. Double click it and copy the files inside to a new folder. Then browse to that folder using device manager.

That's what you listed as your motherboard in your forum specs.
