My computer after reloading XP has 2 devices that have no driver loaded
and I can't figure out what they are. This is on a Gateway 5266E and
they are:
- PCI Simple Communications Controller
- Unknown device

Is there any way to determine what these are?
 
The PCI Simple Communications Controller is almost always a modem. I would
address that first as some modems have an associated audio device and it may
address both.
If there is still an issue look at the drivers available for your computer
at gateway, especially whether there is chip set driver.
If still unresolved see How to use Registry Editor to identify an unknown
PCI device http://search.support.microsoft.com/kb/298837/EN-US/
