| 241688 | 2004-06-04 09:20:00 | During boot,w98se keeps finding new hardware "search for drivers for PCI System management Bus" and hangs until manually cancelled. Tried all installation disks/folders/files (including some not even remotely applicable!) Only hardware on PCI is modem. No other problems with any hardware/software. Any way to disable windows desire to search for h'ware? |

| 241689 | 2004-06-04 09:28:00 | Have a look in Control Panel > System > Device Manager, for devices with yellow exclamation marks next to their listing. If there is one double click it and choose disable device (or right click). Reboot ans see what happens. Cheers Murray P |

| 241692 | 2004-06-04 21:36:00 | Yes, been thru the m'board installation disc from front to back. The m'board is a Gigabyte GA-8IPE1000 Pro2 with a P4 2.8g CPU |

| 241693 | 2004-06-04 21:59:00 | If you just transfered your existing Hard Drive over to a new M/B without a clean install of Windows, you will have problems like this. You need to format & re-install everything - or put up with odd problems. My past experiences. Bye |

| 241694 | 2004-06-05 00:46:00 | No, the installation was into a clean drive, but i have just done a !!complete!! re-installation of the m'board drivers, and the "PCI etc " problem does not appear, and thus does not halt the boot sequence, but now I have a big yellow question mark in the System/device drivers/ other devices. I shall leave well alone until it becomes a problem with other programmes!!! thanks for all the sugestions Dave |
