go to:
http://www.driverguide.com

and download AC'97 Audio drivers, after registering (FREE) then searc for new hardware and if it shows your sound card, then direct it to search for the location of the drivers you downloaded, if it doesnt, then uninstall the hardware, and then go to the add hardware and direct it to the driver directory

is your motherboard chipset intel as i think sm bus controller is part of that chipset? did you load the motherboard drivers including the chipset inf? pci simple communications controller is your dial-up modem.

ddp i have not a slight clue if my chipset is intel i didnt feel like opening my case earlier i just found that it said cuz i used the cpu-z software. it says my chipset is ati express 200 rev 10
and the southbridge is MSI ati sb400 im not sure if that helps any. Also my mother board is a MSI amethyst-m if that also helps. i think i got rid of the pci error but not the sm bus one. i dunno if i loaded the drivers for the mobo or not. I tried searching for how to get rid of that sm bus error but wasnt successful. if u could help me out or point me in the right driecton i will aprreicate it.
