i just put on windows 2000 on my pc, and now my modem wont
work this is because i dont have any drivers for the pci
simple controler , where can i get this driver, please help
 
The "pci simple controller" is the "win-modem" the problem is that you
didn't install the driver for it BEFORE Windows tried to recognize it.
To fix this one you will need to figure out what it is, get the drivers,
uninstall the "pci simple controller", physically remove the win-modem,
install the drivers, reinstall the win-modem and then Windows should
find it by the correct name. I would suggest also getting the
installation instructions and follow them instead of my list where there
is a difference.
 
Get it from the manufacturer of the controller. If it's on the
motherboard, from the motherboard mfr's website. If a card, from the
card mfr's site. If no such driver exists, buy a cheap controller card
that has such a driver. If the PC is really old, make sure all its
hardware is compatible with W2k, which is very demanding.
