PCI Universal Serial Bus??????

[Melville McMullen]

Made a clean install of Win95 OEm, 4.00.950b on boot I get message "found
new hardware......PCI Universal Serial Bus ".......installing.........asks
where to find drivers I click cancel, because I don't know what it's
looking for.
Machine boots O.K. however, in Device manager I find a "yellow" question
mark with heading Other Devices, and PCI Universal Serial Bus with a yellow
exclamation mark , In "System Devices I have two PCI Bus entries one with a
yellow exclamation mark.
I have run an Intel program (for 430TX chipset) that hasn't helped. Ran
another program from motherboard mfg it no help.
What is it telling me and how do I fix it?

you need to download the file piix4.exe from the dell website.

I search for the file then download. It will require a blank floppy
disk. Then run the disk and it should cure the problem

If you have a problem email me an I will send it to you.

Won't that be only good for Dell computers? What if it's a Compaq?

McM, it's just simply trying to install the drivers that allow Windows to
manage your PCI bus ports so that it can talk to the expansion cards (if
any) that are plugged into them. It's the same with your serial ports,
CD-ROM drive, USB ports (if you have them), or just about any hardware.
However, I'm surprised that Windows does not already have drivers for PCI.
Next time, try click ok and see what happens.

I have used the program piix4 on several makes other than dell to
include compaq presario. the driver will enable the bridge. when
that happens it has always been my experience that win95 will see the
usb or other devices and ask for drivers for them.

I am only suggesting what has worked for me.

When Windows aks where to find the drivers, you might try
c:\windows\system
as the path (see here)
http://support.microsoft.com/support/kb/articles/q192/1/93.asp

Otherwise, the USB update should be on your Setup CD, probably in
\other\updates\usb
with a .txt file conatining the instructions. Be sure to run both the
updates, with a system reboot after each one.

I don't have any answers for this-my machine is doing the same. I found that
the PC senses the PCI modem which is already installed anyway. If you try to re
install, ther's big problems. I usually start up again from cold and all is
well!. Why, I don't know

I not sure about your system, but on mine the drivers windows is looking for is in c:\windows\options\cabs if they are installed on your computer. Good day!

On some older Pentium I motherboards combined with early versions of Win
95, unless you have USB installed, the PCI modem will not be found. I
have experienced this problem. I couldn't install USB either, and had to
go with a ISA modem. Hope this sheds some light.

Here is a couple web sites that could help you http://www.usb.org/shopping_bag.html
http://www.compuclinic.com/osr2faq/index.html
http://www.aesystems.com/usb_install.html
the first site has a Intel program you can download, Hope this helps.
Good day!

Joe,

I believe I've encountered the same issue.

On the 95 CD in \other\usb there should be an 'usbsupp.exe' file. If you
don't find this, let me know and I'll mail it to you.

Run this, remove the unknown device from device manager and reboot. Should
install when it reboots. Also, if it asks you for drivers when it reboots,
instead of the cabs folder, enter 'c:\%windows folder%\system' for the
location.

Now I'm dealing with the next USB problem that comes up!!

Good Luck,
Mark
