[marian62]

Please recommend me a pci simple communicatons controller driver for HP ProBook laptop 450 G3 for Windows 7 64 bit

Hi:

This driver should work...

This package provides the Intel Management Engine Components Driver for supported notebook models running a supported operating system.

I installed this package prior to posting and did not work. Sorry

[Paul_Tikkanen]

Please post the hardware ID for the pci simple communicatons controller, so I can investigate why the driver didn't work (because it should have).

To find the hardware ID, go to the device manager and click on the pci simple communicatons controller needing the driver.

Then click on the Details tab at the top of the  pci simple communicatons controller window.

Now you will see a Property drop down list, and it will be set to Device Description.

Drop down on that list and select the 2nd item (Hardware ID's).

Post the top string of characters that you see in the window.

The top string of characters is : PCI/VEN_8086&DEV_9D3A&SUBSYS_8101103C&REV_21

Hi:

Here is a copy and paste of the driver setup information file for the above driver which shows it should have worked for the ID you posted.

[Intel.ntamd64.6.1]
; DisplayName               Section           DeviceId
%TEE_DeviceDesc%=TEE_DDI_x64, PCI\VEN_8086&DEV_1E3A
%TEE_DeviceDesc%=TEE_DDI_x64, PCI\VEN_8086&DEV_1CBA
%TEE_DeviceDesc%=TEE_DDI_x64, PCI\VEN_8086&DEV_1C3A
%TEE_DeviceDesc%=TEE_DDI_x64, PCI\VEN_8086&DEV_1DBA
%TEE_DeviceDesc%=TEE_DDI_x64, PCI\VEN_8086&DEV_1D3A
%TEE_DeviceDesc%=TEE_DDI_x64, PCI\VEN_8086&DEV_8C3A
%TEE_DeviceDesc%=TEE_DDI_x64, PCI\VEN_8086&DEV_9C3A
%TEE_DeviceDesc%=TEE_DDI_x64, PCI\VEN_8086&DEV_8D3A
%TEE_DeviceDesc%=TEE_DDI_x64, PCI\VEN_8086&DEV_9CBA
%TEE_DeviceDesc%=TEE_DDI_x64, PCI\VEN_8086&DEV_8CBA
%TEE_DeviceDesc%=TEE_DDI_x64, PCI\VEN_8086&DEV_9D3A
%TEE_DeviceDesc%=TEE_DDI_x64, PCI\VEN_8086&DEV_A13A

So, try manually installing the driver as follows...

If you did not delete the above driver file, go to the device manager and click on the PCI Simple Comms Controller needing the driver.

Click on the driver tab.  Click on Update Driver. 

Select the Browse my computer for driver software option, and browse to the driver folder that was created when you ran the file.

That folder will be located in C:\SWSetup\sp74844.

Make sure the Include Subfolders box is checked, and see if the driver installs that way.

Then restart the PC.

Thank you for your time. After I sent the message at 9:46 AM I upgraded to Windows 10, which lasted until 3 o'clock ago. At this point in device manager I have no conflict, so I can believe that I solved the problem. Once again thank you.

[Paul_Tikkanen]

You're very welcome.
