Device Manager

[Jennifer]

I have a Windows95 machine, and in the Device Manager, under "other" It shows "PCI Bridge" and PCI Universal Serial Bus" in yellow exclamation marks. I've deleted them and tried to install again off the Win95 CD but it keeps telling be the "specified location does not contain blah blah" If I hit cancel there doesn’t seem to be a problem as far as the computer running, but I was just wondering why it's there, what are they for, and what folder maybe I could find the drivers for them in the Win95 CD.

That info is not on your 95 cd , its on your motherboard cd. Go to the manufacturer of your mother board and download those updated drivers, should be a 4 and 1, but you got to give us more info on your hardware. What happen , was there just exclamation marks out of the blue, my friend had a virus that caused this the other day , so might want to scan your system for viruses also, there every where. Its crazy.

Not sure when it actually showed up. I replaced my CMOS battery and after doing so it started loading drivers when I started it. I went into the Device Manager just to look at things and noticed this. So I'm not real sure if it was already like that or maybe replaceing the CMOS bat caused it.
thanks

Dont think the cmos has anything to do with your harddrive, could have did something to your drive when you were working in your case. Check connections and see everything is hook up securely, if it is . Might be a virus, do you have any other funny behavior?

Thanks for the response diurnal, but actually everything seems to be working ok. When it starts up I notice that it says that my Primary is not detected, and also it says my Floppy drive is not found. But my primary (hdd) is being detected no matter what it say's because that's my hard drive and it working, and my Floppy drive works...go fig http://www.PCGuide.com/ubb/smile.gif

oK well I have encounted a problem, I can't seem to hook-up with the server now. Would PCI Bridge or PCI Universal Serial Bus cause this. Or do I need to reload the drivers for the ethernet card? I think it asked me to insert the disc for the card but I didn't have it at the time so I ignored it.
Any ideas ?

Yeah, you need to reload the drivers...if it asked for them and you clicked ignore they didn't get loaded and a partially loaded driver could be the source of your other problems, too.

Thanks for the reply, I'm assuming I need to just reload the drivers for the Ethernet Card and not worry about the PCI stuff since I'm told that's motherboard issues.
thanks again,

Now where did I put my Ethernet disc http://www.PCGuide.com/ubb/smile.gif

To re-establish the network connectio you need to reload the ethernet card drivers...you may still need to re-install the other drivers, too.
