If your computer came with a serial port built into it pretty rare these days , go to the support site of your computer's manufacturer, enter the identifying information about your specific model probably the serial number , and look for the driver for the serial port.
If you have difficulty doing the above, please provide the make and model of your computer and its serial number. Once you know the manufacturer and model of the serial port, you should be able to find the driver for it.
If at all possible, avoid third-party driver download sites. Look for the website of the device manufacturer. Was this reply helpful? Yes No. Sorry this didn't help. Thanks for your feedback. I could be wrong, Not having it wont or should not affect ones computer unless one is trying to attach and run one of these older devices.
It may be more of a annoyance factor as it shows up with the Exclamation Mark beside it in the Device Manager. I once tried to go to the manufacturer's website and talked to a robot agent.
It asked me for the serial number. I went down for software and drivers, but it gave few of the softwares like BIOS extension and audio device driver. I mentioned It didn't solved my problem and website asked me to download some kind of HP agent framework or something that will automatically check devices and install the necessary drivers.
I tried to install that software but It said your operating system is not supported, setup will now exit. I think it was because of my CPU's model.
Also your three website links didn't helped; one says error, another says no device found My PC also had another missing driver of PCI simple communication controller but I fixed it by watching a video on youtube and download Intel R software management host or something and installed the driver manually by device manager. I once downloaded the drivers from an alternative local website named as " Driverscape".
I first thought it was a Microsoft website because it had Microsoft icon. So it went something like this So there were some digitally signed in drivers or whatever that means and I tried to install the drivers from them. I one by one tried every driver but none of them worked as it displayed the driver for this device is invalid or something.
I doubt that this isn't the exact driver I was looking for as I tried to update driver automatically and it displayed like this. Sorry if the images are not big enough to read. So, was it right of me to install the drivers from the internet from a local website or it will harm my computer somehow. Or I should uninstall the driver. Frank N St31n may very well be correct. You appear to have a computer that was built just as Windows 7 was being released, and although there are some Windows 7 drivers for it on the HP website, there is nothing that seems to be a serial port driver.
In general, it is not a good idea to download drivers from third-party websites because you have no way to determine if they are the correct driver or if they include malware.
It appears, however, that whatever this device is, the driver you installed manually seems to have been accepted. Because there is no warning icon now, I suspect that the Device Status will be "This device is working properly. Are you using any peripheral device that needs to be connected to a serial port? If so, does it work now? Both of those products have free trial periods.
You can uninstall them after the scan or keep them, as you like. If you keep MalwareBytes but don't pay for it, it reverts to an "on-demand only" scanner after the free trial period ends.
You both should be right, my PC isn't very much capable of handling Windows 7. You can go to the second method to fix the driver issue.
How to check PC specs Windows 10? You can run a driver update tool to update the driver to a new version. The PCI driver issue is a minor problem but this can bring many troubles if you cannot use specific hardware connected to the PCI serial port. Just try one of the ways as stated above to fix the issue.
