PCI Simple Communications Controller
Problem:
The Found New Hardware Wizard cannot find the driver for the PCI Simple Communications Controller. What is the PCI Simple Communications Controller and where is the driver?

PCI stands for Peripheal Component Interconnect and is an industry standard bus for attaching peripheal devices to a computer. The PCI Simple Communications Controller is a generic label given by Windows to PCI boards installed in a PC when the drivers for the device are not installed.

Imma make it easy on you and tell you to use to driver disc and go to the software folder and install the thing under the "MEI" folder.

H:\Software\MEI\Intel\Intel(R)_Management_Engine_Components\XP32_Vista32_Vista64_Win7_32_Win7_64_6.0.0.1179 -
Thank you both for your replies. +1 rep
Edit: Its my intel HM55 chipset.
Got it fixed -
I use the Microsoft driver from Windows Update in the Optional Updates section since it seems to have a newer date and you don't have those two Intel Management services automatically running. You can disable those two processes from running however if you want.
