PCI Communication Device

[DCHenry]

I have an HP desktop with an pci communication device in it. I am running windows ME, I want to upgrade to XP but I am having trouble loading the XP. says the pci communication device is the problem. Any one with an idea please reply. Becuae of this device I can not load XP.

First make sure there is a XP driver for it. Uninstall the ME driver

and disable or remove the device. Run XP upgrade and reinstall or enable

and let XP find it and install the driver.

Or for less problems later on format and do a clean install. If you

have the upgrade version of XP make sure you have a qualifying CD

like an ME install CD. I don't think a restore disk will work, if that's

what HP gave you.

It is the Modem device

Try using Everest 1.20 to check the model number and download the correct Xp driver

Bye Bye

I used to work for HP, and its 90% likely a Conexant winmodem. Real piece of junk, I had so many tech support issues with it... but if it works for you great! A buddy of mine had an HP I upgraded to XP, and it took forever to find the driver. Its out there there on the net though, hope this helps.
