PCI Communications Controller Device missing...

Hi,
I just installed Windows XP Pro on my new Dimension E310.
The device manager says that I am missing a driver for a PCI Simple PCI Communications Controller Device and also a PCI Device. I could not find any such driver on the Dell website. I did, however, find a number of "apparent" matches here:http://members.driverguide.com/index.php?action=dosearch&qm0=communication+controller&qa6=294&dp=3&sm=b&jmd=and&fzz=b

Should I get one from there? Which one? If not, then from where?

Thanks a lot for your help!

    Buzzlightyear,
    thanks for the speedy response... but unfortunately for us, I did in fact install the Intel Chipset already.
    If you are positive that that is the only possible problem, could you maybe tell me how to verify that it was installed correctly?

    Thanks man,
    (let the force be with you!)

    Install chipset for your os.

    You should have a resource CD.

    You can also find drivers on the dell support site.

    I am not entertaining finding them for you.  They are there.

    PCI comm aka MODEM drivers.
