I am also having the same problem and it seems to be common. Any way the Dell 1546 that i have does not has a modem. Any body got a clue about this PCI Simple Communication Controller?

I just downgraded a Win7 Inspiron 1564 to Win XP Pro for a client and had the same issue. 'PCI Simple Communications Controller' flagged in Dev Mgr turned out to be 'Intel Management Engine Interface' (Intel MEI). After finally digging up that little gem on the web, found a post indicating Dell package R243176 would contain the driver I needed. Try this link: http://support.euro.dell.com/support/downloads/download.aspx?c=ie&cs=iebsdt1&l=en&s=bsd&releaseid=R243176&formatcnt=0&libid=0&typeid=-1&dateid=-1&formatid=-1&fileid=351790
Worked like a charm for me.
Good for XP, Vista 32/64, Win7 32/64 - Inspiron 1464, 1564, 1764 - Studio Laptop 1558, 1569

Thanks PASTampa, It certainly worked like a charm.

PLEASE HELP .... ran that driver R243176 .....it says not a valid win32 application ='(

Use a download manager to download the files. You are most probably not able to download it completely off the DELL ftp servers.
