Default Unknown Device in Windows 7 - 08-26-2009, 03:57 PM

Device Manager reports that I still have an unknown device after a clean install of Windows 7RTM. I think I checked everything(Webcam, USB, MMC Reader, Touchpad, LAN) and they all work.



What am I missing?

I think it's the smart battery. After installing the battery driver it went away on mine.

Thanks! That was it. I just assumed it was dell crapware when I saw it on the download page initially. I guess this utility lets you disable battery charging when on AC power. Nifty.

gonna reuse this thread instead of starting a new one since it kinda goes together. does anyone know what i need to install to get the wifi on/off button to work in windows 7? all of the other function keys seem to be fine but this one.

i had that already and it didn't seem to make the wireless on/off button work. i ended up downloading the vista utility for it, it works now, but all it does is pop up a box that you have to check/uncheck, which is kinda goofy, but oh well.
