Thanks TS for the guide. I just installed my PC with Win7 Home Premium 64-bit last nite and I have installed every driver (Win7 64-bit) but I found 2 items in device manager shown as 'Unknown device'. Is it possible that this is the gameport of my Sound Blaster Live Audigy? (I know Win7 does not support game port). The other unknown device is still a mystery to me, I will look into this (using ur guide) tonite. Anyway, my LAN is working find.

QUOTE(fulat @ Jan 6 2010, 01:14 PM) go to device manager and find out the "unknown device" value. copy and paste in google search. then u will know what's that device. One is Gameport (of my Sound Blaster Audigy 2 ZS) which is not supported by Win7 and another one is asus (P5QL) motherboard ACPI driver -no driver available currently. Thank god these are not critical device. |

Thank god these are not critical device. My ACPI driver issues resolved already by Microsoft support... nice. Gameport -clearly Win7 will not support this device -no problemo.
