would like to know!

Hi William,.

1. do you have a code error message when you click on the yellow Board?

2. What is the brand and model of the computer/motherboard?

3. which card has been inserted into the PCI slot?

PCI stands for Peripheral Component Interconnect. It's an industry standard bus to connect devices to a computer.

A serial port is a serial communication physical through transfers of information inside or outside a bit at a time. The term "serial port" usually identifies hardware more or less conforms to the RS-232 standard, designed to interface with a modem or a similar communication device. The serial port used to be widely used to connect to a variety of devices external and is essentially a two-way communication port. There are still devices using a serial port connection. These are often marked as RS232 and would include devices such as TELEVISION receiver cable boxes.

The PCI of Simple Communications controller is a generic label given by Windows for PCI cards installed in a PC when the drivers for the device are not installed.

You probably received this error because you have not installed the driver for your PCI device.

If your computer came with a motherboard driver disc, put the CD in and install the chipset drivers from Device Manager browse the CD. This would update the drivers for those devices.

Steps to follow:

a. right click on the entry in the Device Manager and select Properties.

b. in the driver tab updated some drivers.

c. Select Browse my computer for driver software.

d. click on browse and look for DVD player option.

e. follow the instructions on the screen and restart the computer after installing the drivers.

If you don't have the motherboard drivers CD then please download and install the chipset drivres for the manufacturer's website.

I hope this helps. If you have any other queries/issues related to Windows, write us and we will be happy to help you further.
