USB information

Linux

Run the command:

lsusb

Locate the device you are interested in, note the corresponding VID/PID and run the command:

lsusb -v -d VID:PID > usb.txt

And email the resulting usb.txt file.

Mac OS X

Run the command:

system_profiler SPUSBDataType > usb.txt

And email the resulting usb.txt file.

Windows

Install and run the usbview application. Locate the device you are interested in, and email the information you see in the right panel.

USB capture applications

The first application is preffered, because it generates a plaintext logfile that is the easiest to analyze, but it's also the least intuitive application.

Uninstall hidden drivers

To get rid of that unwanted driver, device, or service:

Now, as you expand the different drivers and devices in device manager you will see not only the items that Windows currently detects as installed on your pc (these are the usual items displayed), but you will also see drivers, devices, and services which have been loaded in the past but were not uninstalled or are not currently started. You can find your offending device, right-click, and choose "uninstall" to remove it from the system completely.

Be careful though; you should note that non-loaded devices, drivers, and services are "grayed" out, but that doesn't necessarily mean that you should delete all of them. Only remove items you know you don't need. And, be careful that you don't change too many devices or you might need to re-activate your Windows installation.

Last thing, if you accidentally exit the Device Manager Console you will need to start over again at the cmd prompt. To close the cmd prompt window, type "exit" (without the quotes).
