    I recently was forced to reformat my harddrive and reinstall Windows xp. All went well except now I have 4 error messages in my system readout. My chip sets Intel 82801 pci bridge and my Intel 945G pci express won;t load.

    In the system it list it cannot find drivers for multimedia controller, simple pci,etc,etc.

    I have looked all over the net for these drivers with no luck.

    I have a Dell XPS 400, with Windows XP SP2.

    Thanks for any help.

    Go to the Dell support site and download and install the drivers for your model computer

    Open your case,
    multimedia controller= sound card or on-board sound. Look for this on the Dell site
    Simple PCI= phone modem. Look for this on the Dell site
