unknown device

Hi
I just installed Vista last nite and all went very well with the exception
of one"unknown device"
Vista tries to search for a driver for this device and of course cannot find
one.I have no idea what this device is...how do I determine this??

Installed fine on an Asrock 939Sata2(ULI chipset) mobo with 4x516 of
DDR3200,6600GT video,2 ethernet cards,2 HD,DVD burner,........all drivers
were automatically installed.I just needed to update the video and sound
drivers.
Made the mistake of loading Jave 5 and screwed up IE7......used the restore
feature and all was back to normal.
Where would I find Java 6....did a search nothing came up

thanks for the help

I selected the feature on the sun Java web site
to allow the (Online Installation) of JRE 5
update 7 to my Vista system and have not
encountered any problems.

If you download the Offline package, there
appears to be a problem trying to install that.
It may be a security situation in Vista, or it
may be an incompatibility of the installer with
Vista.

It may not be possible to determine the unknown device this early in
development. You could submit a bug report through the Beta Client via the
feedback link. I have an unknown device and I have just disabled it for now
in Device Manager and as new drivers come out I'll see if that gets
resolved. I think it's my integrated dialup modem on the motherboard
anyway, (which is disabled in bios as it conflicted with my NIC in previous
windows) as I have exhausted the issue of trying to get that hardware
installed. There is also software out there that can identify some devices
that Windows can't.
