    After you have installed all your drivers, and check device manager and see 1 one more unknown devices... How do you find out what hardware it is so you can track down a driver for it??? I hate when this happens.

    Post the Hardware ID of the reported unknown device and I'll tell you what it is.

    Is this for a hp notebook? Did you install the quick launch drivers? Most of the unknown drivers for a hp notebook are usually the quick launch's drivers

    Exactly. A quick google on hpq0006 shows it's the "Quick Launch" buttons. They're probably the capacitive ones that require software drivers, like the touch and slide volume bar and media buttons.

    *remember to google the hardware ID* :p

    Yep, it's an hp dv8000 and installing the quick launch drivers worked.

    Thanks!
