Question:
Inspiron e1505/6400 "PCI Device"
Argh argh argh argh argh.
Reformatted my pretty shiny new laptop that came in the mail, and it's working fine... but.
Under the device manager/other devices, I have a little thing called "PCI Device" with a yellow question mark on it. I've installed all the drivers I know of (including the media card reader thingy... Ricoh?), and it's the only thing left with an error. When I uninstalled it and rebooted, it just referred to itself as "PCI Device" when it re-found itself. It won't find its correct driver, and as far as I can tell it just... sits there.
Any clue whatsoever?

did you install your ethernet and dialup modem drivers?
Answer:
Re: Inspiron e1505/6400 "PCI Device"
Definitely installed the ethernet (it's happily pointing out I'm not connected to a network, haha), and when I checked the device manager re: my modem it listed it there with updated drivers. So I believe I did, unless I missed a step somewhere.

Probably the card reader. Driver is downloadable from support.dell.com. It's listed under the "Chipset" tab as "Ricoh R5C832".

I already downloaded & installed that one as well, yet I still have this problem. Hewp.

I'm wondering maybe this is the wireless LAN card. You have probably already installed the drivers for it, but try install them again. Also, does Windows give you any information as to what the device may be?

do you have deamon tools installed ? as this can cause it as it simulates a drive but isnt one

Chipset drivers? I think that solved it for me.
Answer:
Re: Inspiron e1505/6400 "PCI Device"
The wireless LAN is installed & fine, the chipset drivers are also installed. Going to try reinstalling the wireless LAN drivers though I have little hope there :(
What are the deamon tools, though? (I'm so confused. Ack.)
