Optiplex 960 Desktop PCI Drivers

[cwalter]

I am unable to find the Drivers for the following devices listed:
PCI Serial Port
PCI Simple Communications Controller

When I try to install the Vista Drivers, I get an error that the file could not copy and will exit.

Has anyone found the two drivers that will work with Windows 7 Ultimate?

Hi cwalter - Welcome to the site :ciao:

1) - Can you tell us your computer's model - Which computer do you have?
2) - You said you tried Vista drivers. - Was this from the computer manufacturer's download site?
3) - Windows can detect your hardware. - Have you run Windows update?
4) - Seems to me both could be linked to a Modem? - Do you have a Modem installed in your computer? - If so there are numbers which can help in finding a driver stamped on the card.

The compjuter model is a Dell Optiplex 960 Desktop
I tried the Vista drivers from the Dell Website
Windows Update does not detect the drivers
There is no Modem on the Desktop

When I went to Dell Forums, it is stated that these particular devices need the following drivers:
Intel drivers AMT HECI and AMT SOL/LMS.

I tried installing for Vista, but they error out.

When I try to install the Vista Drivers, I get an error that the file could not copy and will exit.

Did the drivers come with an application installer, or just a a folder with .inf and .dll files which you can point W7 to?

Wow - duh!! I never thought of doing it manually. It worked! Thanks so much!

When you download the drivers from dell, it automatically runs the installer. I guess I never thought about the manual install. I feel so stupid!

Thanks again!!

No problem, glad it worked

Dell has now officially released Intel AMT packages for Windows 7.

Optiplex 960 Simple PCI Controller Drivers

Dell has now officially released Intel AMT packages for Windows 7.

Where can we find these magical W7 AMT packages?

jcolec563, this is a very old thread.

The drivers are third party and you need to get them from your equipment manufacturer, in your case, Dell

 

[jgolec563]

My problem is that none of the Dell-related downloads seem to work. Been there - downloaded / installed - no joy. The drivers never seem to install properly. Any other ideas?

Well it could be something wrong with your registry.

I guess first you should try uninstalling them and see if you can install after that ...

and if not I would consider backing up all your data to an external drive and then completely reinstalling w7.
