    Hi Paul,
    Tried Windows Update but it didn't find any drivers for the mentioned devices. However, I found drivers for the Base System Devices and the SM Bus Controller and they have been installed OK. I'm not really concerned about the PCI Controller since I would only expect this to be required on a 'Desktop' motherboard which has PCI Card slots.....
    Can't understand why this appears on a Laptop which doesn't have PCI expansion slots (as far as I know)

    Everything working reasonably well now.

    Thanks Again

    Oh well, it was worth a try!

    It is included in the installation media. If you think how many different models and specifications a manufacturer produces, it would be a nightmare to have different installation media for each model and specifications specifically for that model and specifications.

    If you are happy, then please mark this thread as solved!

    I hope this helps!

Hello Guys, So my office PC keeps going to unidentified network and I have to disable and enable the network adapter for it to get an IP address and connect back to the network. I'm using a LAN connection not wireless by the way. I have not seen this issue on any other computers/laptops on...

I've been getting this message recently, but my power button shows that the laptop is plugged in. I have no idea why it isn't recognizing it, but when it's plugged in and not recognized, it really cuts down on my laptop's performance. Oh, and it isn't a typo with the two "L"s, it really shows up...

Hello! I just did a clean install of Windows 7 on a PC that was formerly running XP, and everything seems to have gone smoothly, except for the network adapter. See, the adapter was working properly in XP, and I expected I might have to update the drivers for 7, but the Device Manager does not even...
