I think you may have it with the VID_.... and PID_.... below. > I did try devcon, But I think it reads information from the registry. Ah, so it shows everything it knows about being plugged in over time, not what's plugged in now? I thought you had a lot! :-) > And it wraps, so not so readable...

That may mean that your three Belkin above aren't really the three items of hardware you have; there's only two distinct product IDs, for example. Getting details of what's plugged in *now* would help clear this up. > USB\VID_058F&PID_6387\12345678 : USB Mass > Storage Device > USB\VID_05E1&PID_0408\5&1B7495D4&0&6 : USB Composite > Device > USB\VID_05E1&PID_0408&MI_00\6&2EA7956E&0&0000 : Syntek STK1160 > USB\VID_05E1&PID_0408&MI_01\6&2EA7956E&0&0001 : USB Audio Device > USB\VID_0781&PID_5406\000018519474147A : USB Mass > Storage Device > USB\VID_0784&PID_1691\000000000000100 : USB Mass > Storage Device > USB\VID_08CA&PID_0021\5&2660EB71&0&2 : USB Human > Interface Device > USB\VID_08CA&PID_0021\5&2B51F791&0&2 : USB Human > Interface Device > USB\VID_0930&PID_653E\0B10E66132C3689A : USB Mass > Storage Device > USB\VID_0BC2&PID_3300\2GHLQ4ZA____ : USB Mass > Storage Device > USB\VID_0C45&PID_602A\5&2B51F791&0&2 : USB camera > USB\VID_0C45&PID_602A\6&45BFC63&0&2 : SmartCam > USB\VID_0C45&PID_602A\6&45BFC63&0&3 : USB camera > USB\VID_0EA0&PID_2168\2109417883620048 : USB Mass > Storage Device > USB\VID_1046&PID_9967\5&2660EB71&0&2 : W9967, WDM > Video Capture > USB\VID_14AA&PID_0225\5&1B7495D4&0&5 : Freecom USB > Digital - TV Receiver > USB\VID_14AA&PID_0225\5&2B51F791&0&2 : Freecom USB > Digital - TV Receiver > USB\VID_14AA&PID_0226\20060503 : USB Composite > Device > USB\VID_14AA&PID_0226&MI_00\6&218D7F07&0&0000 : Freecom USB > Digital - TV Receiver > USB\VID_14AA&PID_0226&MI_01\6&218D7F07&0&0001 : USB Human > Interface Device > USB\VID_14CD&PID_6600\5&1B7495D4&0&6 : USB Mass > Storage Device > USB\VID_4317&PID_0711\43860000 : 802.11b/g LP/SC > USBeless Adapter > /* Love that one US(B)eless! */ > > /* I only have had one 3Com USB wireless adapter. */ > USB\VID_6891&PID_A727\5&1B7495D4&0&1 : 3COM > OfficeConnect Wireless 11g Compact USB Adapter #2 > USB\VID_6891&PID_A727\5&1B7495D4&0&4 : 3COM > OfficeConnect Wireless 11g Compact USB Adapter #3 > USB\VID_6891&PID_A727\5&311CD76E&0&1 : 3COM > OfficeConnect Wireless 11g Compact USB Adapter > > /* and other junk that I have had plugged in. */ > USBSTOR\CDROM&VEN_SANDISK&PROD_U3_CRUZER_MICRO&REV_4.04 \000018519474147A&1 > : SanDisk U3 Cruzer Micro USB Device > USBSTOR\DISK&VEN_&PROD_USB_FLASH_MEMORY&REV_5.00\0B10E66132C3689A&0 > : USB Flash Memory USB Device > USBSTOR\DISK&VEN_CBM&PROD_FLASH_DISK&REV_5.00\2301410082AA7009&0 > : CBM Flash Disk USB Device > USBSTOR\DISK&VEN_OTI&PROD_FLASH_DISK&REV_2.00\2109417883620048&0 > : OTi Flash Disk USB Device > USBSTOR\DISK&VEN_SANDISK&PROD_U3_CRUZER_MICRO&REV_4.04 \000018519474147A&0 > : SanDisk U3 Cruzer Micro USB Device > USBSTOR\DISK&VEN_SEAGATE&PROD_DESKTOP&REV_0130\2GHLQ4ZA____&0 > : Seagate Desktop USB Device > USBSTOR\DISK&VEN_ST320410&PROD_A&REV_\6&2E7DC79&0&__________&0 > : ST320410 A USB Device > USBSTOR\DISK&VEN_SUPRA&PROD_DC_5900&REV_1.00\000000000000100&0 > : Supra DC 5900 USB Device > USBSTOR\DISK&VEN_USB&PROD_USB_2.0_FLASH&REV_8.07\12345678&0 > : USB USB 2.0 Flash USB Device Anyone know what the 32-bit number is?
