Solved pci simple communication controller

[carwiz]

The PCI Com-Con is on Intel based motherboards only and used for remote updates within an IT network so I don't know why HP (or someone) would want to use that unless they want to peek into your PC. That's not how normal updates occur. The drivers for that should be on your motherboard disc or from the MB OEM site and included with the chipset drivers. The other piece of it is call the Management Engine Interface. But as I mentioned, you don't need that either unless your PC is part of a business IT network. In which case, your PC would be under the IT department control.

I was never able to delete the hardware until recently. It would always come back after a reboot so I blocked Windows driver updates and deleted the drivers for it. It used to run all the time in the background and I don't need it. I think Intel issued a hidden patch for the PCI Com-Con. I saw it flash by just ahead of a network adaptor update from Intel.

In any case, don't install the entire HP software package. Choose Custom Install and select the printer drivers only. See if that works. I normally do that for all my printers since I don't need all the extra crapware they try to load anyway.

After my last post on this thread, I went to installing XP, but failed!
Then I didn't see any choice except returning back to a new Win 7, fully updated.
After updating, I will go the way of installing all drivers. But I know I'll have the problem not installing the PCi-co again.
Here is an snapshot from my device manager, after installing all Windows 7 updates, and before installing the drivers;

I guess your Sound does not work ...

 

[Franky]

Yes, that's right. I'm downloading the driver from ecs site (vista 32 bit & xp 32 bit) and installing them. I must after these, continue the rest of the way.

After installing drivers, now I need to install multimedia controller and Multimedia video controller by Windows driver update (on line).



And about the PCI-con, I obtained some info about the details of it:

Honestly, this computer is not mine, it's my friend's. So I haven't put the PCi modem or anything else into mobo, but when I opened it I saw one card which was installed next to VGA card that supplies the ports for dial-up connecting.

The first app (from DELL), Could not find the MODEM device for this driver.
And the second app, installed somethings (process was by a black & white screen and then wanted me to restart the PC. I restarted but no changes occurred!

 

[maxie]

You could take the Card out then ?

 

[Franky]

You want me to take it out!? If you want I do that.

 

[maxie]

Yes take it out should be easy enough ..

I've seen many brand-name computers where the "pci simple communication controller" meant the Dial-Up Modem in the computer, not the built-in type of older computers but the Add-in PCI Modem. Using the Windows Update while connected to the 'net usually got the drivers, some brands such as Dell did include a CD for the Modem separate from their Resource CD with other drivers.

 

[Franky]

The problem solved.
I couldn't to install the pci-con but this time (on this fresh 7) the HP printer could be installed.
Thank you very much Maxie.
Very kind of you.

 

[maxie]

Very welcome really glad you got it sorted

 

[Franky]
