I posted in the OS Forum and didn't get much help...I thought I'd try the guys (and gals) in the SFF forum as that is what I've got.

My computer is in the sig,...here's the problem, I recently "Upgraded" ( :rolleyes: ) to Windows Media Center Edition. I like it but, after a full format and install of MCE I get the driver error in the device manager for the "SM Bus Controller" "This device is not configured correctly. (Code 1) to reinstall the drivers for this device, click Reinstall Driver." "Driver not found".

I've done that. Everytime I tried to load the drivers, I get some junk about "Can't Install device, driver not found" or something like that. The new 6.9's came out, I figured OK, I'll try'em and see if that works,...nope. I went to DFI-Street, several people said that after a flash to the latest BIOS, upon re-boot, SM Bus Controllers and IDE Controllers did a refresh install. I flashed...nope...didn't help.

So, is anyone else still running the DFI RS482 and using Windows MCE and have all of their drivers loaded correctly? Does anyone know why MCE can't find the driver? I've gone to the DFI site and looked for an updated/compatible driver, nothing. I've done the Windows update thang, nada. I've tried forcing the drivers, crash. I've been building computers for about 10 years and this one has me stumped...anyone?
 
i am running that board with an x2 and mce2005. i dont have this problem. i guess you tried using the chipset drivers from the cd? iirc, you have to install these and the catalyst drivers. its looking for an .inf file, correct? i havent been to desktop or even used a mouse and keyboard since i installed mce, which was at least 8 months ago. this has been the most problem free pc i ever built, owned or have even seen.
 
Fixed...I downloaded the driver packages separately, ie...South Bridge drivers, and it installed...still don't know why it wouldn't install as part of the 6.9 package...?
 
i dont know, i had the earlier ati chipset, the ecs rs480, and had to do the same thing. love this board, but i bought for the onboard tv-out, which crashes to desktop from mce everytime i change a tv channel. tried about a million different cc drivers, etc. ended up using a vid card anyway. also, this was only board that i ever had to do the "amd multi-core hot-fix". but once i got this stuff done, its been working great forever. going to swap out my tuner soon for an ati theater 550, not looking forward to that. this board and tuner drivers do not mix well.
