In device manager under system devices for pci bus I am getting error:Windows could not load the drivers for this device because the computer is reporting two PCI.VXD bus types.(Code 2)Motherboard is Asus SP97.V with SIS 5598 chipset.I flashed the bios 2 times with 2 different updates and still same error.(Followed manual step by step.)I currently dont use any PCI slots but I would like to. Everthing else works great.

In the device manager did you try clicking on PCI Bus and clicking remove? Then restart your computer and let windows reinstall the drivers. If this doesn't work you could go into the bios and change the setting for PNP OS. If it is yes change it to no and if it is no change it to yes. Then try removing the PCI Bus again and restarting the computer.

You may need to install the SiS chipset drivers for the pci bridge.

You can download them from either ASUS or SiS web sites.

Also, windows can generate vxd errors when their are memory problems. If this is a newly built machine, or you recently added memory, this may be the source of your problem.
If you have 2 different DIMMs, they may be incompatable with each other, or 1 may be incompatible with the BIOS / motherboard.

The last 2 times I had vxd problems from memory issues, I had to clear the drive, and re-install windows.

You may be able to clear the problem by booting to a dos prompt, and deleting the .vxd files in the system32 folder.
You will need to re-install some device drivers though.
