Gary/Christopher,
I can sort of agree with this. Some months back I managed to combine an old
HP PC and an old Dell PC (best parts of both!) into one PC for a
neighbor. I chased this "PCI simple Comm. Controller" for about 3 days;
until IT popped up as the device that allowed a WinModem to talk with a
"special" Creative sound card. Never did get it to work; and, the neighbor
brought me a 'real' modem to install in place of the WinModem. The
problem/msgs went away............ :)
The OS was WinME. I tried to 'give' them W2Kpro; they did not like it.
They really wanted WinXP (on the cheap!). Did not happen; they left with
their (?) WinME!
Not sure this helps. Just FYI.
Best,
Duncan

Except one device "PCI simple Communications Controller". I cannot find a
driver for the life on me. Lenovo was no help (custom install). The
device ID tells me it's from Intel but that no luck on their site either.
Any ideas?
Usually a winmodem of some sort.
