SM Controller

[Guest]

Archived from groups: microsoft.public.windowsxp.hardware (More info?)

I completed a reformat and a fresh reinstall of WindowsXP with no changes to
the hardware. I reinstalled all applications as before with no Changes.
Now Device Manager is showing the Yellow? under Other Devices [failed
installation of an SM controller].
Please assist me in understanding what the SM controller is and how to
proceed with a possible fix.

Visit the support website of the manufacturer of your computer
or motherboard and download the appropriate chipset driver.

If you have an Intel processor and chipset:

Install the Intel® Chipset Software Installation Utility
