PCI Communication device problem

Hi

I have reinstalled my W98Se. Since then I allways receive the "PCI
Communication Device" message when I restart my machine. I have looked for
this 'problem' on th einternet but could not find something that could help
me. I also have a printer connected to me usb port. But that is not working,
I don't know if it has something to do with the message at starting up my
system. When I want to install the printer I cannot select the usb port as
the port on which the printer must be installed.
This is my pc setup:
Dell Dimension 4100, W98SE, HP Deskjet 930C connected to the USB port

Hope someone can help me out

Regards

Sounds like you just need to install the correct drivers. Hold down the
Windows key and press the Pause/Break key, choose the Hardware tab,
click on Device Manager. Any items with a yellow exclamation next to
them don' have the correct drivers. The PCI communications device is
your modem. And you probably need the USB drivers installed, they're
part of the motherboard's drivers. Check the disks that came with the
computer or look at support.dell.com for more info on your model.

PCI Communications Device: That's your modem. Install the drivers for
it.

For the printer, read the install instructions again. The setup program
may only provide serial and parallel ports for selection. You probably
have to install the driver *BEFORE* plugging in the USB printer so the
install program can then use it to detect the printer. Reread your
install manual, or read it at http://snipurl.com/dy2w (notice step 4
which means the printer was NOT already connected).
