Can I resurrect this old thread please? Just call me Lazarus.I have been reading till my eyes are bleeding, and hoping someone can help me out of my dilemma?I have tried all the advice in other threads, (bits relevant to XP Pro) and still have the 'Other Devices' flagged in the Device Manager as:'PCI - Simple Communications Controller' - with no driver that will load or work.I have also done the Dell Website diagnostic several different ways, to no avail -after updating and applying fixes to all of.NET runtime updates etc etc etc.Backgound: Stand alone home PC = DELL OPTIPLEX-755.
