Similar to my Asus A8N-SLI, this motherboard has A.I. NOS/Booster which
is one, if not both, of those items. Insert your motherboard CD and look
for \software\aibooster\acpi64 (or similar), copy the drivers to the
desktop, DECORATE the Windows 2000/XP driver's INF file and install.

You do not need the AI Booster/NOS software if you do not intend on
using it. This will merely rid yourself of the exclamation mark.

Thanks for the prompt reply.

Unfortunately the A8N is a NVIDIA 4 board and, apparently, has the A.I.
Booster.

The A8V is a Via K8T800 board and doesn't have anything like A.I. Booster
( It can, however, be upgraded to dual core Athlons

Thanks for trying

Right-click the item in question, click properties, navigate to the
Details tab, click the data in the 'value' text box, press CTRL-C, paste
it here and send.

This will help identify the object.

Following you advice I checked the device details on my "Unknowndevice"

It shows:

DISPLAY\NTATIVMD40\5&313393AF&0&80000007&01&00

Apparantly it has something to do with my ATI X800

Maybe I ought to reinstall the ATI drivers?

Thnaks

Hi, have you got a X800 with the theatre chip on it? If so you need to
upgrade the unknown device drivers manually and use MS own ATI WDM Theatre
Video and MS ATI WDM Specialized MVD Codec drivers...

Gosh, I'm not sure(I bought the card used -from someone who HAD to have an
X850)

Are those drivers somewhere on the Win64 CD?
