Unknown device showing up in device manager

Hi all, got a quick question if somebody could help me, i've just installed
the beta 2 a couple of days ago and it's great, going to be buying this when
it hits the shops :-), Vista found all of my hardware, besides 1 i havent a
clue for what tho, it's showing up in other devices as a unknown device, how
do i found out what device it is for and how do i go about installing it in
Vista or should i just leave it see'ing as Vista picked up everything i
need, ie graphics card (downloading the nvidia vista drivers while i'm
typing this),me Onboard lan device,me firefire,usb 2 ports,me card reader
device,My 56k modem & me onboard sound

TIA
Lee

RE: Unknown device showing up in device manager

I had that same problem and it ended up being the capture part of my video
card. Who knows?
