What means a blue question mark in Vista/Windows 7 Device Manager

From Troubleshooting Device Conflicts with Device Manager

A blue "i" on a white field on a device resource in Computer properties indicates that the Use Automatic Settings feature is not selected for the device and that the resource was manually selected. Note that this does not indicate a problem or disabled state.

Hmmm, now this is a conundrum.

That item, Point Grey Research Devices, is not a regular node that appears in the Windows Device Manager. Somehow a 3rd party product and injected itself into the Device Manager list. It's icon (piece of paper with gold gear on it) is not standard Microsoft. That would lead me to believe that it's child node's icon's are created by Point Grey (whoever they are).

It's a mystery why in the world a hardware manufacturer would need to invent their own device type. Do they think their device is so unique that they couldn't classify it as a

• Imaging Device
• Pointing device, even a generic
• Human interface device

Anyway, since Point Grey is creating their own custom icons, you'll have to ask them what the icons mean.

I don't think it's a driver issue. I have exactly the same problem with a calibration tool called colormunki. My device works with no problem and device manager confirms it works properly. It seems Windows just does not know the category of the device so it's classified with an icon + a question mark.
