| Well, at long last have got rid of this annoying "Unknown device" feature. Had a look in device manager and it at last showed up "High Precision Event Timer" was listed as Disabled, so tried enabling and upgrading driver through Windows updates and it has now been enabled and working. On doing a bit of reading on the Microsoft site, it was introduced in 2002 to do away with old legacy ISA devices and use a more precise accurate timer for everything....graphics, sound, computer clock and many more things. What is still baffling to me is....why was everything apparantly working Ok (apart from odd glitches) with the HPET disabled, and why was the original error being associated with PCI to ISA legacy device, which the HPET should have replaced. Bit confusing...but all's well that ends's well......
