Unknown device in device manager in Windows 7 64.
Fresh Windows 7 64 Professional install directly to a formatted hard drive. Using an ASUS P5QL-EM main board with an Intel E7400 Core2 Duo 2.8GHz, 4G RAM, IDE hard drive, IDE Burner, keyboard, mouse, Radeon HD4870 and that's it. No other devices.
Go into device manager and there is one unknown device:
'on Intel(R) ICH10 LPC Interface Controller - 3A18'
When Viewing Devices by connection in Device Manager, the path to the device is:
Home PC/Microsoft ACPI-Compliant System/PCI bus/Intel(R) ICH10 LPC Interface Controller - 3A18/Unknown Device
The full device list under Intel(R) ICH10 LPC Interface Controller - 3A18 is:
Direct memory access controller
High Precision Event Timer
Inter(R) 82802 Firmware Hub Device
Numeric data processor
Programmable interrupt controller
System CMOS/real time clock
System Speaker
Unknown device
Have tried about 6 drivers for this, from Asus and Intel, nothing installs and solves the problem. Tried both setup.exe and manual driver installation methods.
I'm sorry I never responded to the people trying to help me here. I had checked 'contact me is anyone responds' but for some reason I never got an email.
This problem turned out to be a 'DOH!'.
The device driver was installed when I allowed the system to perform 'optional Windows updates'. At this point I had only let it install the 'important' updates. Who would have figured a system driver would have been considered 'optional'?
Once I allowed the optional updates, the driver was installed and everything worked. Note, since this happened I have replaced my main board with a slightly newer enthusiast grade board, a Gigabyte GA-X48-DS4. When I installed Windows 7 on this board I didn't have any issues. Unfortunately now I can't get my subwoofer working on my 4.1 surround system. Always has to be something.......

Hi all,
I'm staying in a densely populated urban area.
This router is showing devices connected to this network when I've ensured that all authorised devices are disconnected / powered off.
MAC addresses that I've specifically authorised (and attached names to) occasionally show up on my router's list named as 'Unknown'.
What steps should I take to ensure no error on my part.
Further, what can I do if, as I suspect, this network is being used by those without my consent?
Appreciated.
Further information: My router has the nifty feature of having LEDs attached to it that indicate when the WiFi antennas are in use. The computer I use to control the router is hard-wired. All other clients on the network connect via WiFi.
Even when all devices in the house are powered off, the router's LEDs indicate WiFi activity.
