Serial controller driver

[Radur]

Hi all,

I recently re-installed win 98 SE, and got all my drivers and everything. It works fine, except in the device manager, there is a yellow exclamation next to the device "PCI Serial Controller" and it says that i don't have the driver for it.

I have a PC chips m747 motherboard, and I've been to the PC Chips website, and there is no mention of a serial controller driver. Do i need one? I'm hoping to get a pci graphics card this month (No AGP slot), so will this be detected without this driver?

Cheers
:)

Have you tried installing the windows98 update, might help? You can download it from the net.:cheese:

hi

sounds like your modem needs new drivers (i think that is how my diamond supraexpress 56I was described by windows before driver installation).

yep definately modem drivers

does the same with my supra express 56i

Yep, that's probably it. I use a supra 56e pro, BUT I have an internal modem that I don't use and isn't installed. So windows thinks this is a PCI serial controller? Weird. Okay guys, i think i'll search the web to try and find those drivers.

Cheers

Hi the most likely reason it's thought as a serial interface device is because it is to all intents and purposes a serial interface (has one line to send and one line to receive data, so the data is sent one bit at a time) :)
