P5B Deluxe here with XP Pro sp2. After installing drivers for everything there are a couple of weird things happening..

-I still have an "unknown PCI device" in the device manager


-When I plug in a firewire external drive, the "Found New Hardware" Wizard pops up, and the Dev Mang shows an unknown dev entry for "DMI HID". The drive works fine though.

Maybe these two things are related somehow. I have the onboard audio disabled in the bios, btw (running an Audigy2 card).
 
Ok, just found out the "DMI HID" thing is related to my external drive needing the backup push-button software installed.

Unknown device still unsolved.
 
I have the same problem. It's driving me nut's trying to figure it out.

P.S. I have the same Sound card.... hmmm.
 
My model is the non-wifi.
Problem showed up before I even installed the Audigy card.
 
This is the device ID PCI\VEN_8086&DEV_284B&SUBSYS_81EC1043&REV_02\3&11583659&0&D8

Possible error with windows registry?
 
I'm running 0711 bios OnDborder

Also everything in the Bios not in use is disabled... :bang head

I know this sounds silly, since you got Creative Audigy sound board there, have you disable at BIOS the on board sound "HD Audio Controller" ?
