Solve : PCI Network Controller help (win98)? |
| Answer» <html><body><p>I have PCI Network Controller listed under "reserved device" in the device manager that is causing a resource conflict (<a href="https://interviewquestions.tuteehub.com/tag/code-25512" style="font-weight:bold;" target="_blank" title="Click to know more about CODE">CODE</a> 15). The system can't find any drivers for it and it just reinstalls if I try to remove it and reboot. Windows troubleshooter suggests it's a plug n play device because it has a "manual configuration" option. <br/><br/>Is plug n play the same as hardware that requires usb access? If so, I only have one usb port being used (a dsl modem) and that says it's working fine. There's nothing showing in the conflicted device list on the resource tab, so I have no idea what the conflict is. The only thing I have to go on is the manufacturer is Intel. I haven't added any new hardware to this machine. Any ideas how this can be fixed? How many ethernet cards does this computer have?<br/>What is make & model of computer?<br/><br/><a href="https://support.microsoft.com/kb/189877">http://support.microsoft.com/kb/189877</a>Thanks for the quick reply and the link. The pc was custom built, so I don't know. I have no idea about the ethernet cards either. I'm a novice when it comes to computers, sorry. Having run some software I found out it has a platinix motherboard (I'm not sure if that helps any). It <a href="https://interviewquestions.tuteehub.com/tag/also-373387" style="font-weight:bold;" target="_blank" title="Click to know more about ALSO">ALSO</a> said it has a sound blaster sound card and according to the article in the link you provided, they can cause conflicts. I checked the sound and vid cards in device manager and they seem to be working fine though. I was just trying to install some newer usb drivers and the instructions said I needed to remove any unknown devices before I install them for it to work right.Someone suggested there's a way to locate the "hex string" in the registry, then use the string to ID the PCI adapter on a web site. They didn't say what site provided that service though. Does anyone know of such a site? Also, if that's possible can someone tell me the directory path in the registry for PCI adapters?Why not just pull the PCI card and ID it that way ? ?<br/><br/><a href="https://interviewquestions.tuteehub.com/tag/worst-746430" style="font-weight:bold;" target="_blank" title="Click to know more about WORST">WORST</a> case scenario a brand new one will only cost you 10 or 15 Bucks if you can't find drivers...If I knew what it looked like and how to remove it and add a new one (if needed) I'd definitely do that. Unfortunately, I don't know much about computers.<br/><br/>This is what it says in device manager:<br/><br/><strong>PCI Network Controller<br/>Device type: Other devices<br/>Manufacturer: None specified (it said Intel V.001 before I formatted the PC, but still had the same problem).<br/>Hardware version: 001<br/><br/>Device status: Drivers not installed (code 28) (It's also said code 15 in the past)<br/>Driver provider: (blank)<br/>Driver date: (blank)<br/>Resources: 0000 0000 - 000FFFFF<br/><br/>Under resources / manual configuration it says there's a device conflict with the graphics card (although the graphics card says it has no problems / conflicts).</strong><br/><br/>I took the PC to a repair shop and the guy said he couldn't find any network card. So either he doesn't know what he's talking about or the PC still <a href="https://interviewquestions.tuteehub.com/tag/thinks-3209439" style="font-weight:bold;" target="_blank" title="Click to know more about THINKS">THINKS</a> it has it installed. It even searched and "found" the hardware after the format, so it must be there. <br/><br/>Thoughts and suggestions <a href="https://interviewquestions.tuteehub.com/tag/welcomed-7723460" style="font-weight:bold;" target="_blank" title="Click to know more about WELCOMED">WELCOMED</a>.

The computer is no different.</body></html> | |
