PCI Communication Device
When I turn on the PC it is trying to install a PCI Communication
Device and can't find it. How do I find out what driver I need to download to make this work? The device driver cd that came with the machine doesn't work. Please help. |

Do you know what this device is? Look in device manager for a device that
is not working properly - it will have an exclamation mark. See if there are some details there about what the device is. -- Jeff Richards MS MVP (Windows - Shell/User) "katie" wrote in message ups.com...

On the last sounds like you need to reinstall your video drivers.
On the PCI Comm. Device. It may be another function of your modem. Mine has 4. Once I load the Modem drivers and windows restarts. It will come up with " Found New Hardware" Do the select your own and the browse bit. And select your modem driver file. My modem also has a driver install for the Fax,voice and sound. Hope this helps? "katie" wrote: I also can't change screen properties higher than 16 colors |

I've seen a Winmodem start and fail its installation like this. Need to
know more about your hardware, such as what kind of modem, etc. Joe "katie" wrote in message ups.com...

You do not have your modem drivers installed, nor do you have the correct video
drivers installed. Please give a little background about the computer....did you recently do a reinstall of Windows? Did you ever have the correct drivers installed? What brand and model of computer is it? -- Glen Ventura, MS MVP Shell/User, A+ http://dts-l.org/goodpost.htm "katie" wrote in message ps.com...

You may get some information about what Windows is finding in the hardware
by removing the device from Device Manager, then re-booting. The messages will change and may be more informative. Note Glen's advise about taking us back through your recent history a bit - I suspect that there may have been a change to the hardware configuration (possibly in BIOS setup) and Windows is now confused about just what hardware exists in your system. -- Jeff Richards MS MVP (Windows - Shell/User) "katie" wrote in message ups.com...
