Basically, as copied from the above website\\
You can also idenify drivers from ''Device Manager''->''Properties''->''Details'' tab.\\
Look at the ''Hardware ID'' in the dropdown box on that page.\\
There are 3 (or more) types of devices listed by Hardware ID\\
- PCI devices (have **VEN_** and **DEV_** in the Hardware ID)\\
- USB devices (have **VID_** and **PID_** in the Hardware ID)\\
- Other devices (usually have **PnP** or **ACPI** in the Hardware ID)\\

For PCI devices, search at [[http://www.pcidatabase.com/]]\\
If no results, then use Google\\

For USB devices, search at [[http://www.linux-usb.org/usb.ids]]\\
If no results, then use Google\\

For the rest of the devices, use [[http://www.plasma-online.de/english/identify/serial/pnp_id_pnp.html]]\\
If no results, then use Google\\

To remove any left over driver remnants, especially from graphics cards, use Driver Sweeper, now called Display Driver Uninstaller\\
