From: Joe on 17 Dec 2006 12:39 I have a new Gateway computer and I have an error in device manager that I can not get rid of. It is in Unknown Device--Other Devices and it has a yellow question mark there--error code 28. I have uninstalled the device many times but it keeps trying to install with hardware wizard many times--however, I do not even know what the device is because it does not tell me the device name. Gateway tech support can not seem to help me either. Everything seems to work fine on the computer, at this time, but I would like to know how to find out what the device is that is gving the error and how to fix it. Is it a USB device? An internal flaw? Or do I just ignore it? Is there a way to detect and fix this error? Please Help!! Thanks Joe

But If it ain't broke.....
From: Agent-Viper007 on 17 Dec 2006 23:54 I would also check in your BIOS settings and see if any intergrated devices such as a smart card reader or other internal device is enabled but not installed . I know on many systems i have seen things such as compact flash readers that were onboard hardware were enabled and not installed and it shows up as unknown hardware and gives a erro code 28. just something to look in to .

From: Joe on 18 Dec 2006 07:52 I did a little more research on the device and in details in hardware manager it says it could be ACPI\AWY0001 what is that? And what can I do to fix the unknow device?
