Guest Dave1166 Posted September 8, 2007 Posted September 8, 2007 In Device Manager, "Other Devices" there is a large yellow question mark beside "PCI Simple Communications Device." When I click it, It says I have a choice of "update driver" and when I explore further it appears that the device isn't working because there is no driver for it. Trying to update the driver doesn't work because I don't have one on any disk including the Windows installation disc. Where can I find the driver? Dave T.
Guest V Green Posted September 8, 2007 Posted September 8, 2007 Re: PCI Simple Communications Controller If everything is working, ignore it. This is sometimes indicative of onboard motherboard devices that you aren't using.

"PCI Simple Communications Controller" usually refers to a telephone modem. Download and install the Modem drivers from the modem's (or motherboard's) manufacturer's web site, if you no longer have the driver disk that came with the computer or modem. Alternatively, if you don't use the built-in modem, you can could simply disable it in the Device Manager, and not worry about it. -- Bruce Chambers Help us help you: http://dts-l.org/goodpost.htm http://www.catb.org/~esr/faqs/smart-questions.html They that can give up essential liberty to obtain a little temporary safety deserve neither liberty nor safety. -Benjamin Franklin Many people would rather die than think; in fact, most do. -Bertrand Russell
