    PCI Simple Communications Controller

    What is that? And where do I find it?

    I'm going to guess it's your modem.

    What is your specific model number? And try *this*. That is for 32 and 64 bit.

    What is that download you suggested? The readme is very long:
    http://downloadmirror.intel.com/18494/eng/readme.txt

    Here are the device IDs:

    PCI\VEN_8086&DEV_3B64&SUBSYS_9069104D&REV_06
    PCI\VEN_8086&DEV_3B64&SUBSYS_9069104D
    PCI\VEN_8086&DEV_3B64&CC_078000

    The download that I linked to is the Intel Chipset Driver update utility. And after seeing the hardware ID's that's the download that you need. And are you exactly sure that's the model number? That model number doesn't show up on the Sony support site.
