    PCI buss driver error
    « on: May 16, 2009, 07:26:44 AM »
    Hey, guys. I just downgraded (some would say upgraded) from vista to xp. I noticed that the drivers for my graphics card, my pci buss, and my wireless card were all missing. I updated the graphics card and it works perfectly. Then i updated my wireless card driver and found that it still wouldn't turn on. My wireless card and speakers/sound card are both connected to my pci buss, and I can't fix it because I'm using a laptop. Fortunately my graphics card was integrated. I'm using a Compaq presario c700, i believe it is em. I have driver detective, I'm just not ready to pay 30 bucks yet. Here is what it says I'm either missing or have outdated drivers for.

    Outdated
    -Intel(r) ICH8m 3 port serial ata storage controller - 2828
    -HID Compliant mouse (my touchpad and external mouse work fine)
    -(2) Intel(r) ICH8 Family Pci Express Root port 1 - 283f
    -Intel(r) 82801 PCI bridge-2448
    -Intel(r) ICH8 Family SMBus Controller - 283e
    -PCI standard houst CPU bridge
    -(4) Intel(r) ICH8 Family USB Universal Host Controller

    Missing
    Network Controller
    PCI Device.

    Again, I don't know how to get any more specific information than  this.

    Laptop drivers should come directly from the manuf. site.

      Do you have a drivers CD for those? If you have your problem is solved.
