How to Find HP Drivers for PCI Devices on Windows XP

Select Language:

Having trouble with missing drivers on your HP Z210 after reinstalling Windows XP? Here’s a simple way to fix it. First, go to the official HP website and look for drivers specifically made for your model. Since you’ve already downloaded and installed some drivers, focus on finding the ones for PCI Serial Port and PCI Simple Communications Controller.

In your device manager, you’ll see entries with the hardware IDs like PCI\VEN_8086&DEV_1C3D and PCI\VEN_8086&DEV_1C3A. These IDs are key to identifying the right drivers. To find the correct drivers, you can use a hardware IDs lookup tool or search these IDs online. This will help you locate drivers compatible with these specific hardware components.

Once you have the right drivers, download and install them. Restart your computer afterward to ensure the drivers are properly integrated and your device manager no longer shows missing drivers. If you’re unable to find the drivers on HP’s site, try looking for Intel chipset drivers, as many of these components are Intel-based.

By following these steps, you’ll get your system fully functional with all drivers installed correctly. Good luck!
