Hi,
does you have a software that tells about the driver name of the unknown(un detectible) hardware cards  |

I don't believe any software could claim to detect and recognise ALL hardware. In some cases, especially with older hardware (the most likely to be undetected, for most people) the software would have to know where in memory the hardware stores it's BIOS (eg for a VGA card), or what to write to which port (and what response to read from where) in order to identify a component.
If you have a bit more information about what you are trying to identify (eg graphics card, network card, etc) someone may be better able to help.
Of course, without knowing what the hardware is, nobody (and no software!) could possibly give you even a vague idea of what drivers you will need.
Of course, if I'm wrong, I'd like to know what software performs the task in as general a way as your request  _________________ My graphics card database can be found at http://www.gpuzoo.com.
I can resist anything except temptation.

From inside windows, go to the unknown device, and go to it's preperties, then the details tab...
From there you can see a string, with "&VENXXXX_&DEVXXXX" and with those two codes (The numbers where the X's replace)...
Put the device term (and the Vendor term if necessary) at http://www.pcidatabase.com/
From there, you can see a device name and vendor. |

The info must be entered as - 0xXXXX for Vendor or Device. |
