You could remove it and if it is somethat that you need windows should find it again once you restart the computer. But that may require you knowing what drivers are needed for it to completely re-install it. My advice would be leave it alone unless it is causing a problem. Unless there is a yellow exclamation mark by it then it is working properly now.
What was installed a year ago? That is probably where you will find the answer.
You may be just creating problems if you do remove it.

and i have an extra
SCSI controllers apart from other devices
hcfmodem -- my modem -- your type may not have this entry
imaging device -- my scanner and camera --you only have these if you have an imaging device
scsi controllers --- for those type devices I have none of them.
Well this didn't seem to help any. If you start to have problems then maybe we can narrow it down as to what the other device is.
Remove it again and restart again. Watch closely and see if windows installls anything prior to or after finding the other device. Jot any info down and post back here.

If and when this creates a problem post it here and we may have something more to go on. If you are uncomfortably with leaving it the way it is now you can try a scanreg /restore back to a few days ago. I'm not sure where to go from here otherwise.
You could poke around in system information and see if you find anything.

I would click edit add remove the software license section.
Have to leave now but you can use that tool to see if some of the hardware isn't listed in device manager and that will help pinpoint what is listed as other device.
Goodluck

The unknown device is very likely an IRQ holder for PCI Steering. Prob. not in use. In Dev Mgr, highlight unknown dev,properties, resources. What IRQ does it show? Go to system info, check IRQ to see whatelse might be in slot. If nothing, disable unknownin dev mgr.
in resoources it is not showing irq
it is just showing something abt memory which is mentioned above
it is just showing something abt memory which is mentioned above
You can scroll a little in that screen....did you?
You might try booting to the safe mode and remove the unknown device. Once had a duplicate display driver, after I removed it in the safe mode, it quit coming back.
