GA-7IXE4 - PCI Simple Communications Controller Problem
I have the GA-7IXE4 m/b and , after upgrading from W2K Pro to XP Pro ,
I am getting a yellow Error Question Mark in Device Manager against "Other Devices Simple Communications Controller " When clicked this states that no drivers for this device are installed - the location for this is given as :- PCI Slot 4 (PCI bus 0, device 8, function 0) The only CD I have which I think may be of relevance here is the original CD which I got when I bought this m/b some 2 years ago - this is the " 3rd Party Chipset Series Mainboard Utility CD ( V.1.6) Inserting this CD does not , however , get rid of the Yello Question mark. Can anyone help with advice here , please ? B.N. To reply remove "admiral_" |

That's most likely a PCI modem. Have a look at the markings of its main chip, its could be a Rockwell RS56, RH56, Conexant CX1xxx, Ambient or Intel Ambient, Motorola or such like. Use Google to find a driver, if you can't the post the model no. here. |

I should explain here that , previous to the upgrade to XP , I changed from a dialup modem to an external Broadband connection which is working OK. So far I haven't got around to removing the old dialup modem from the PC - when I do I suppose that will remove the yellow question mark. Thanks for the advice anyway. B.N.

When we got broadband at home I decided to leave the analogue modems in our PCs for backup purposes just in case the BB fails. They are also useful for sending faxes. |
