XPS A2010 and Windows 7 (PCI simple communications controller)
I just upgraded my computer to windows 7 professional 32 bit and everything works fine, I have yet to find anything not working. Yet when I go to Device Manager I have the yellow caution by the PCI simple communications controller. I let it attempt to look for a driver and it can't find one and then tells me to go to the manufacturer of the device and see if they have one.
The problem is I don't know what the device is. Is there anyway to tell from the device manger?
Any help or ideas would be greatly appreciated.

I have the same issue after upgrading to Win7. My A2010 seems to be functioning correctly but still get a PCI simple communications controller error in device manager. I cannot find a driver for it even using the system drivers cd.

SOLUTION:
-DOWNLOAD proper Vista Driver
-Go to file > right click > properties > compatibility > Run as WIndows Vista SP2
-Make sure checkbox at bottom claiming "Run as Administrator" is checked
-Click Apply
-Click OK
-Run driver as usual
Good luck!!

Fix: install "Intel Management Engine Interface" (R176601.EXE) - be sure to set Properties > Compatiblity mode to Vista SP2 and to run as Administrator.
