I tried to upgrade my basic desktop PC (only attachement: mouse, keybord,
speakers and monitor) to pro (SP2) and got into trouble.
Win XP does not want open in User Mode, I can only open in Safe Mode. The
other symptoms: no audio and cannot activate XP.
Device.Manager pointed in <Hardware> that error is within category "Other
devices" named PCI Simple Communincation Controller. Device status is
telling me :
" The drivers for this device are not installed. (Code 28)
To reinstall the drivers for this device, click Reinstall Driver".
I started searching for this driver, but it is not so simple. No specific
driver called "PCI Simple Communication Controller" exists in places like
www.driversearch.com/cgi/search or www.driverguidetoolkit.com/ . But since
"Device instance ID" from offending device properties , found in Details,
was: "PCI\VEN_127A&DEV_2015&SUBSYS_2015127A&REV_01\3&61AAA01&0&80",
I concluded from it, that this is driver from Rockwell.
I found, download and installed succesfully the device meeting exactly
this description. For a moment the hope was there, but only for a moment.
The new device was shown by Device Manager in new catagory "Modem" and with
the name: "Soft V92 Data Fax Modem". It didn't make any difference to my
initial symptoms, except Device Manager was not showing yellow triangle
(And I am not much surprised, since I have only HS cable connected to
Internet.). The previous, "Other devices" category disapeared.
Another investigation on "Sound , video and game controllers" did not let
me to change any grey settings in "Sound and audio Devices properties". But
I am tempted to believe that uninstalled " PCI Simple Communincation
Controller" originates this problem
But the question is what I can do now.
Help, Please.
Regards,
Tad
PS: Please note that I know how to unistall and install deviced by now!
