PCI Device - Yellow question mark

humblemofo · 04-16-2008, 05:10 PM

just reinstalled (after formatted Hard Drive) Windows XP SP2 (Home), and i see that there is a PCI Device with a "Yellow Question Mark".

all my hardware devices are all working but it is somewhat still "annoying".....

how can i (we) find out what it is and where the appropriate driver is??

thanks in advance!!!

Could you think of what it might be? Have you noticed any functionality missing?

There have been times when I had a similar thing pop up on my machine- I just set it to not try to install it anymore and didn't bother trying to find out what it was, because I wasn't missing anything that I knew of.

i have set it disable and nothing has shown up.......

its just one of those "annoying" things

the only thing that i can think of that "functionnally NOT sound" is my 2nd SATA drive (750gb).....every now and then, it just hangs/doesnt respond.

That will often be a modem . . do you have one installed?

after formatting did you run your m/b setup disk
