I'm not sure how to check the device ID.
I used the USBDeview software by Nirsoft to get the INF file. (See the attached "oem26.inf.txt" file.)
It had DeviceID as "VID_1949&PID_0004"

You should put the KV away while waiting.
Don't do anything to it while waiting for knowledgeable help.
(The restart counter only allows two attempts at restarting it.
Use them up before someone can help and you will be back to the "repair needed" screen.)
Okay, I won't. Thanks for the heads up.

If you are using Windows10, you need to update it to the "Millennium Edition" or newer.
MS fixed their driver problem with ME.
I'm sorry, I'm not aware of any "Millennium Edition" of Windows 10. However, I have the latest updated version as you can see in the attached screenshot.
