Did you check out the properties of these devices in the Device Mgr. Usually the ? denotes some driver problem. Are you sure you installed your ethernet driver and your chipset utility.

ArnieBear You were correct.Do not know what I was thinking about.The driver software not compatable with microsoft,so did not load.so using DriveMagic to determine all updated and loaded drives,thanks for the nudge

Is this a build your own puter, or store brand? There should have been driver disks that came with the hardware. You can try to find out what brand ethernet and google for the drivers. Mine is an Intel ProNetwork. As for the SM Bus this is in your chipset install disk, you must find out what mfr of you motherboard is and go from there, Windows will not install this for you.

Well if nothing else you now should have your ? removed. And although it states it makes no difference, I am sure your motherboard is much happier having it's own stuff. My comp will run without my chipset drivers using XP ones but it does not perform as well, Intel wants it's own :)
