Dell Optiplex 990 Drivers Windows 10
Hi Guys... Can I resurrect this old thread please ?? Just call me Lazarus...
I have been reading till my eyes are bleeding, and hoping someone can help me out of my dilemma ?
I have tried all the advice in other threads, (bits relevant to XP Pro) and still have the 'Other Devices' flagged in the Device Manager as:
'PCI - Simple Communications Controller' - with no driver that will load or work.
I have also done the Dell Website diagnostic several different ways, to no avail -after updating and applying fixes to all of .NET runtime updates etc etc etc . . . .
Backgound : Stand alone home PC = DELL OPTIPLEX-755 ..... just formatted and re-installed Windows XP Pro.
Standard Intel Core Duo E6550 @ 2.33 Ghz / 2gb DDR2 SDRAM (PC2-6400) / Graphics=Intel Q35 / Network= Intel-82566DM-2 / 150 GB Hdd (Bios is old A12)
What I've tried >> Obtained the driver pack as mentioned here in other threads, and individually installed every driver for all of the unknown hardware one by one. But this last ah heck just won't play fair
Perhaps I installed drivers in the wrong order ??? There was two of the above unknown 'PCI simple communications controller' entry's, but one easily installed with one of the above Dell drivers.
I also read late last night about a possible fix removing Registry References to old drivers ? And several fixes were found by doing that. Unfortunately I lots the link to that forum, and don't know where to start. Obviously I'm not typing in the right string into google.
Can anyone please help ??
Cheers, Paul.
Oh also.... Do these machines normally take SO bloody long to boot .... Seriously ?? sits on a flashing curser at two l-o-n-g intervals, takes about one full minute, then boots into windows XP just fine ??? Any idea's ??

Dell Optiplex 990 Manual
Hello, I recently reinstalled the OS on a Dell Optiplex 755 and unfortunately, I don't have the drivers disc for this computer. I was able to install drivers for all of the hardware components except I could not find the drivers for the 'PCI Simple Communications Controller' Could someone help me locate this driver? Still though, there is no mention of the tv tuner in the device manager either under hidden devices nor any unknown.
