See posts 34 and 35. Make sure you have the chipset thay identify in their posts or a DP35DP motherboard. You may want to update your chipset driver first.

When I tried to install the drivers, the setup extracted the files and then was an error:
Your computer doesn't have the minimum requirements or something like this.

I received that same error message. See my reply on the following link explaining how I solved it.

PCI Controller Card Problem w/installs

Sorry this post is so late in coming, but I just bought a SATA PCI card to use since I filled all my connectors on my mobo. Come to find that for the bios on my mobo chipset is set to IDE and it needs to be set to AHCI to use it with my current setup. The only way I can change the BIOS setting is to re-install the OS, which hey, I'm not doing it again right now. I want to use the card to run one of my SATA CD\DVD writers off of, but all I can think to do is connect one of my hard drives to it and install an OS on it and use it as the boot drive. It does see the card and asks for OS install when I connected one of my blank HDDs to it. HUMMM, so how many drives in one pc do you think are too many? Maybe I can find another alternative. Still working on this, but thought others might want to know why they are getting the errors for the controller cards.

Keep it Cool! Logic Girl

Hello Logic Girl:

It sounds like you are saying that your External Sata connection requires your motherboard's sata connectors to be in AHCI mode for it to function properly. When the O/S was loaded no AHCI/Raid drivers were installed at the F6 prompt so Microsoft disabled AHCI drivers in the registry, which you must reset in order to enter the bios and set the sata mode to AHCI from IDE. If you change to AHCI in the bios without editing the registry the O/S won't boot due to lack of drivers, but if you make the registry change and then reboot and then make the bios change and reboot again the O/S will now install the native msahci drivers. I have posted a link below that provides the registry path and settings needed to effect the changes.

I have personally followed this setup many times to configure AHCI mode after initial install of Win 7 and it works fine. No reinstall is required!

Solved my windows 7 x32 PCI Simple Communications Error

My board is an Intel DG965RY which does not have Windows 7 driver support (other than the chipset inf.) The error is due to a lack of the Intel Management Interface driver. I downloaded (from the Intel support site) the Vista x32 Management Engine Interface driver as I am running 32 bit Windows 7. To sucessfully run this file: click on properties of the downloaded file. On the compatability tab, check the box "Run this program in compatability mode for" and select the drop down for Vista. Near the bottom of the page select Privledge level and check the box for Run as Administrator. If you don't do this the driver will say this operating systems is not supported and won't run. After running this driver I rebooted and went to the bios settings. Under advanced I selected fan detection "on the next boot". I don't know if this step was necessary, but after doing all of the above my device error message is gone. I get lots of help from various forums and this is a give back: Thanks

Here is the solution that works. It is not a Modem, a audio driver, etc. Most people want to have you reinstall windows when that is not neccessary.

Error on PCI Simple Communications Controller
If the Intel® Management Engine (Intel ME) driver has not been successfully installed, you may see an error on a "PCI Simple Communications Controller" in Device Manager.

To resolve this issue, install the Intel® Management Engine Interface driver for your desktop board. This driver can be installed from either:

The Express Installer CD that came with your board (in the Software\Driver\Advance_Fan_Speed_Control__AFSC folder)
The latest driver downloaded from Intel's Download Center.

this worked on all our lab computers and my home PC.

This worked for me...THANKS pcmilitary

Hi

Recently upgraded to windows 7 64 bit and was looking to run the intel desktop utilities on windows 7 so I could keep an eye on core temp and the fan and system status in general.

After the install I was getting the PCI Simple communications controller showing up as an issue on systems devices/ hardward for windows 7.

I downloaded the Intel Menagement Engine Interface driver:Intel® Desktop Board DQ963FX Intel® ME: Management Engine Driver for Intel 963/965 Chipset-Based Desktop Boards as suggested by Jake 81 and ran the Setup.exe in Windows XP SP2 compatibility mode.

The Missing PCI Simple Communications Controller has been been replaced by Intel Management Engine Interface in System Devices / programs.

However the intel desktop utulties application is still not running? do I still have to install the IDU application for my mobo (DP965lT) and should I install either the windows XP version or Vista 64bit? to get is to show on boot up in the system tray?


I know its been a while since someone posted on this forum thread but any help would be great, failing that can someone suggest an alternative system monitoring device?

regards


brapford

THIS is the solution! - at least for my problem with Gigabyte GA-Z77X-UD5H. Thank you very much, sir!

I've thought that this archive is just "another utility" which you can install - if you want some features at the top ... but NO, it's kind of device that certainly need a driver. And that explains sufficiently why this archive package is in Driver section on Gigabyte's website, not with other utils.
However I didn't notice some lack of ... whatever it can cause ... without driver being installed.
