| [motherboard] Missing Win7 driver help I'm having an issue finding a driver for an Acer Veriton M661 desktop. I installed Win 7 Pro 64-bit on it, and everything loaded except for a serial device, and a pci communications device.
I resolved the serial issue from the chipset drivers gotten from Intel's website, but the pci one remains. As you can see from the image, the hardware ID is:
PCI\VEN_8086&DEV_29B4&subsys_26361019 - which I see comes back to Intel(R) Management Engine Interface (HECI), but for the life of me, I can't find a windows 7 driver for it that works.
Ideas? Help? This should be easy, but for whatever reason today, my mind isn't in it.
Thanks for any help. |

friggin A......
Ok, did a search for that string and found the download for it on intel's site, though it has no mention of 7 on it. I did what I did with the chipset and set the setup to compatibility mode with Vista, ran it, and viola! SUCCESS!!!!
Thanks again! Kudos coming your way! |

For unknown devices, use the PCI Vendor and Device database to look up the hexadecimal PCI vendor and device codes to find out who they are.
I know by heart that vendor code 0x8086 is Intel (they picked that for a reason  ), but wasn't sure what device ID 0x29b4 was. So:

There you go. HECI interface. "What the hell is that" you say? This should shed some light on it. Basically it's SMBus on steroids.

Also, possibly the modem driver. Does the computer have a phone line port(s) on the back?
The Acer support site doesn't list Win 7 as an OS option, so the only drivers listed there are for XP and Vista. Further to that, the modem driver is only available for the 32bit OSes.

Koitsu - I already did all that in the original post - I knew what the device was, I just couldn't find a working Win7 driver for it. Chrno pointed me in the right direction, and after some searching on Intel's site for what he pointed me to, I resolved the issue.
Mister_E - normally, that's what you would think, that it would be a modem, be it a card, or an integrated component on the motherboard, but that's not the case here, it's an Intel management component.
Thanks to all that replied, the issue is resolved. |
