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.......

    We'd like to clarify, where are you trying to download or install the driver?
