I recently blew away win2000 on my puter because it was not compat. with my audio software card, etc...

I did a complete install of win98 ver2. I installed all my cards again. But I still get looking for PCI serial controller message, and ask to install. I cannot find where to get it. I looked on all the CDs that came with my computer and on the win98 install CD.

Can someone tell me how and where to get this controller?

SOME MOTHER BOARDS COME WITH UPDATE PATCHES ON CD. IF YOURS DID NOT COME WITH ONE, TRY GOING TO THE WEB SITE OF THE MANUFACTURE OF YOUR MOTHERBOARD AND SEE IF THEY HAVE UPDATES FOR THE CHIPSET AND THE MOTHERBOARD

This may be a patch you have to get from the motherboard manufacturer, but personally, I've never really heard of something like that which makes me wonder if this a PCI Universal Seriel Bus Controller it's looking for, in which case you'll still need to go to the mb's site or the chip set's site (like intel, ALI, VIA) and look for the drivers there.

Try feeding it your Modem CD (drivers)I think this is what it is looking for if this is a PCI MOdem
