PCI Simple Communications Controller
I just installed Vista RC1 and after windows loads I get a message that it
needs to instal a driver for the subject device. How do I find out what it is looking for? It may be an ethernet cord or a modem, neither of which are being used on this machine. I switched to a wireless network and now have DSL. I'm tempted to say "don't ask me again" and just forget about it, but I don't want to short-circuit an attempt by Vista to rectify a problem that really exists. Any advice? |

That makes sense. I no longer have the modem installed so I don't need an
updated driver. I guess I should just ask Vista to stop the nag?? "BobC" wrote: Probably a modem driver,had the same problem with an Intel536 ep modem,finally,Windows Update had the drivers.
