: To find the Unknown Device, open Device Manager. Click on View devices by Connection. Now you can trace the device. ;-)

: : Yesterday I just bought PCI USB Card 4 ports,
: : First I remove all the USB device including the usb root hub and via pci to usb controller, for a clean install of usb. Restart and let the win98 detect onboard usb ports first. After that turn it off the PC, and I plug in the card, Voila! the card works, and it solve my problem! My printer is now installed..sweeeet!
: : But when PCI USB card installed there's still unknown device in one of the list at Device Manager, if I remove it, there's always found new hardware "unknown device" at restart the PC again..
: : But no problem, the most important thing is my printer is now detected, and can print whenever I want.. :)
: : Thanks for all your support Bill!

: : : I can guarantee that the card will work. Thanks to VIA's flakiness, I can't guarantee the reinstall.
: : : Just unplug the printer. ;-)
