Having fixed the modem issue, I still have 4 issues in the Device Manager:

Ethernet Controller
Multimedia Video Controller
SM Bus Controller
Unknown Device

I know through CPU-Z that the chipset of my PC is Intel 945P Rev. A1.

Using this website http://www.intel.com/support/chipsets/sb/CS-020683.htm , there is an Intel 945P Express Chipset.

Clicked Download, Selected Windows XP Home Edition, and directed to:
http://downloadcenter.intel.com/Filter_Results.aspx?strOSs=45&strTypes=all&Produ....

Nothing mentioned about the 945P. There is mention of Pentium 3 900 series in the archives:

Now what?

as mentioned.. go to HP or where every your system is made from and get the drivers.. the Chipset drivers along with everything else you need will be located there

You should make it a habit to install chipset drivers before the video or other drivers go into the system

SMBus is chipset drivers

and for unknown devices.. you still have drivers missing for something. You need to figure out what card or device you have that is missing drivers... Usually HP (or OEM manufacture) will list all the drivers needed for a system by model or serial code however if you added a device somwhere along the line you need to install the driver for that device yourself.

I will be very honest with you.
Instead of looking for programs to tell you what is missing, try to creat a checklist.
FORMAT
INSTAL XP
INSTAL DRIVERS FROM MOTHERBOARD.
INSTALL OTHER DEVICES YOU KNOW YOU HAVE
RESTART
SEE IF ALL IS OK
CREATE RESTORE POINT "JUST WITH THE FRESH INSTAL AND DRIVERS"
GO TO SIMVIATION FORUMS TO GIVE US SOMETHING TO DO WILE WE ARE FLYING OUR SIMS.

Good that you solve your problem

Chris I dont use OEM computers but I seem to recall a real annoyance with some of them which involved a ACPI driver not typically listed anywhere but at the website for the product.

In looking up your model at HP in the drivers section I saw this

http://h10025.www1.hp.com/ewfrf/wc/softwareDownloadIndex?softwareitem=pv-43019-1...


Which is listed as

Description:   Microsoft "Away Mode" driver for French Canadian Media Center
Enhancements:   Resolves issue where “New Hardware Found” message appears when starting
Windows and no driver is found.

Operating System:

Microsoft Windows XP Media Center Edition


OK so you dont use Media center anymore however the device is still probably active in the BIOS or needs a driver to shut the nag up

I think it may be tied to the ViiV system or Intel Quick Resume Technology Driver as you posted above.. so I would say that link you posted would be the right course of action since the driver listed at HP is for the French version of XP Media Center

The generic ViiV driver is for WinXP MCE so see if you can kill it in the BIOS:

In the BIOS, select Power.
Select Intel QRTD.
Select disable.
Select Exit and save.



see if that works

Thats the same issue I posted.. you dont use Media Center so the driver is not available and is really not needed anyway..

I am assuming this is the problem Chris.. as I said, I dont use OEM computers but that description and the DEVICE ID fits perfect so I would simply disable it in the device manager as it serves no purpose if you do not use the OEM Windows CD
