hello all I have a Abit BH6 with a overclocked Celleron running at 450 MHz, a WD 8.4 gig HDD, a Viper 550 AGP, Yamaha OPL3 128 sound card, Apache 56k V.90 modem, a Mitsumi CDROM , and a 8X20 Plexwriter. I just recently low level formatted the HDD and reinstalled Windows98. I installed the drivers for the video card, cdrom, and the sound card. The mobo software ide busmaster wouldn't load because it was looking for Windows95 and not Windows98. Upon rebooting after Windows98 instalation and hardware configuration. It starts to look for a PCI Serial Controller driver. So I try to install a driver and appearently the driver isn't in Windows98 or the mobo software disk. I've even tried the sound card disk. Nothing. When I go to Device Manager under Other Devices it shows PCI Serial Controller with a yellow triangle and a black exclamation mark. When I go to properties it tells me that the device is not installed or the driver needs to be installed. I tried updating the driver and none could be found. I've looked for it but I couldn't find it anywhere. I also went to System in Device Manager and checked the properties for one of the Motherboard Resorces and I got the same Message I got under the PCI Serial Controller. Either it isn't installed or the driver needs to be installed, and I get the same results when I try to installed a driver. I suspect that the mobo might be bad. Are my suspicions correct? vic Curious about the people moderating your messages? Visit our staff web site: http://nospin.com/pc/staff.html
