sm bus controller - driver not installed
I had to reload windows xp home edition from the CDs that came with my computer. I've managed to get everything else working but the SM BUS Controller still has a yellow question mark. I can't seem to locate the driver anywhere. Any hints?

You need to install the chipset drivers for your motherboard. They should be on your Dell Resource CD or they can be downloaded from the Dell support web site. If you had told us your computer model, I could have proviced a direct link.

Wow Steve,
Thanks for the fast response! (although I'm just now reading it.) Yesterday was a very long day. Usually I provide way more information then anyone would ever need. It's a Dell 2400. I will look for the chipset drivers when I get back work (that's were the computer is). I'll let you know if I find them. Thanks for the help!!

Steve,
I also have a DELL 4500 and needed to reinstall everything from th DELl CD's but the SM Bus Controller shows not installed in device manager. I cannot install from the Dell Resource CD because it says that I have windows XP SP1 installed. I updated windows XP thru windows update before taking care of the USB Bus Controller. Any ideas how to get out of this bind?
Thanks.

SP1 should not prevent you from installing the chipset drivers. Go to the following site and download the chipset driver installation utility for your system and see if that works:

You sent me R41334, the system driver Intel 800 series integrated chipset rev. A06. That one I already have in the resource CD and it is installed ok
What I need is a driver for the SM Bus Controller. Support CD says Controller Driver: Intel USB 2.0 Rev A00, but when I try to install it, it says it cannot install. 1) This file is extracted from the resource CD à C:\dell\drivers\R41331 2) From the C:\DELL\Drivers\R41331\README.HTM.I CLICKED NEXT BUT IT SAYS IT CANNOT INSTALL.
