Broni:
Thank you for helping him, I was away after he posted his replies so I was unable to help, I'm happy to see he made some progress.

1)PCI Simple Communications Controller
2)SM Bus Controller
3)Video Controller
So I need a little help on how to get these drivers, I used the driver disk that came with the computer, and they all worked but 5, then I manual went on the disk and picked two that and unzipped them and installed 2 of them, which leaves me with the 3 above.
I have not went on the internet yet, other than to see if it worked.
I have not updated any thing from microsoft, figured i needed to get all the drivers updated first.
Thanks for all the help.

So I got XP reintalled, the internet is back up. I'm trying to get all the drivers back, there are 3 left in the other devices, with a yellow question mark next to them.

Congratulations on your install. As for the other problems lets get them worked out...
Your computer is The Dimension 4450 correct?
Can you locate the Model number off the MOBO, that will help me look up the proper drivers, I don't want to give you a link to the wrong driver.

Go to the windows update site, when you get there click on custom updates. in the Hardware tab on the left it may have the drivers right there for your computer, I'm not sure but It will save time if they are there.
If they are there start the update process after you install them.
Good luck

Here is the drivers page from Dell for your model.
Just click on the driver you need
IE...communication
then you can download the exact driver for your system

As far as the model its a Dimension 4550.
MOBO = Motherboard, Correct? I assume I have to open the case to get the model number for that?
I will check the windows site at lunch for the drivers.
Thanks for the help.

I will try and install the modem driver at lunch also and see if that fixes the PCI Simple Coontroller.
How do I know which driver to install? Do I need to pull the card and look for a model number or something?
Thanks

PCI Simple Communications Controller.
It still has the yellow question mark next to it.
I have installed virus software, updated everything from windows.
So just need a little help getting the PCI Controller to normal.
Thanks

Do you have an old dial up modem in your computer onboard?
if you do are you using it?
I'm not sure which driver on that page is correct. because I don't know what modem you have...
if you can figure that out I will be able to tell you which one you need
