PCI Simple Communications Controller

S

Scott Mead

I have a HP Pavilion n5495 running XP home. A digital
line fryed my internal modem...and now I am installing a
US Robotics PC card modem (model USR3056)...when I
inserted the card and turned on the computer to go through
the song and dance of the add hardware wizard, it
recognized the modem and also found something called a PCI
Simple Communications Controller and it wants a driver for
that as well. I installed the driver for the US Robotics
modem and that works fine, but I can not either get rid of
or find a driver to satisfy Windows need to install the
PCI SCC. The found new hardware wizard pops up everytime
I reboot and a question mark resides on the PCI SCC (under
other devices) in my device manager.

Any help anyone could provide would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks,

Scott

Delete *both* the modem and the PCI Simple Communications Device from
Device Manager. Then shutdown and restart the computer *immediately*.

On the restart Windows will redetect the device and should sort out
the identification resulting in only a single device being installed
for the modem.

Good luck
