DAVE: i will try all of your solutions to my problem, but how do you explain that the device worked before and all of a sudden it doesnt?

DEMON: i did that and still get "Unknown Device" even o other computers

i will run to the store and buy a new PIC and see if thats what died on me (and maybe some new CAPS and POTS)

Thanks for the help so far guys (lets keep it coming XD )
