PCI Bus Incorrectly Detected on IBM ValuePoint DX4-100

• Microsoft Windows 95

SYMPTOMS

After you install Windows 95 on an IBM ValuePoint DX4-100 computer, a PCI bus is displayed with a red "X" in Device Manager. The PCI bus is displayed in Device Manager even though the computer does not have a PCI bus.

CAUSE

IBM ValuePoint DX4-100 computers have a mother/daughter board layout instead of the standard motherboard layout. This configuration causes Windows 95 to incorrectly detect a PCI bus in the computer.

RESOLUTION

To resolve this problem, follow these steps:

1. Click the Start button, point to Settings, then click Control Panel.

2. Double-click the Add New Hardware icon.

3. Click Next, click the No option button, then click Next.

5. If your ValuePoint computer contains one or more VL-bus slots, click "ISA Plug and Play bus with VL slots." If your computer does not contain any VL-bus slots, click "ISA Plug and Play bus."

6. Click Next.

7. Click Finish.
