I never had this come up in device manager before , in vista or XP.
I had a Asus motherboard and it went south on me so I got a new intel board
and got everything up and running again.
But now in the device manager I have this listed under other devices. Vista
can't find drivers for it, and I don't know what it is.
Could that be a USB device?
Everything I have installed is working.
Any advice on what to look for?
thanks
 
I should add , the only PCI card I have installed is a 5 port USB
card.Whatever I plug into the card works.
 
Not that I am aware of.
The board is a Intel 965LT.
I have a I have a PCI Express Video card.(ATI)
And one PCI USB 5 port card .
those are the only 2 cards I have installed in this machine.
OH YA am running windows Vista Home Premium.
Thanks
 
You might check in the BIOS for an option for built in modem or
something similar. It may be enabled and if it's not in use, it can be
disabled.
 
If you unplug it, does the "Simple PCI Communication Device" go out of
the device manager? If it does, then that would be the problem.
 
Hi Dustin
Sorry it took so long to get back here.
Well I have not solved my problem yet (if it is a problem).
I have unpluged everything on my PC except the Video card and Keyboard, and
Vista still wants to install drivers for that
Simple PCI Communication Device. There is nothing special on that
motherboard that I can see. No onboard modem or anything.
Everything works ok , it just bugs me that I can't fix that.
 
Well Guys
I finally got this thing solved.
I called Intel and had to download a driver called Intel Management
Interface.
everything is normal now.
Thought I would post this just in case anyone else has this problem.
Thanks all
