Yellow ! in device manager for 'other PCI Bridge Device'

Seems the driver for this device included in the chipset package does not work, previously I had extracted it separatly and updated this driver manually and had the internet working for quite some time.
....then
I ran an auto update drivers program and it must have reinstalled the old chipset package with this 'other pci bridge device' driver on it that does not work. Of course now it won't let me install this manually anymore.
I have tried: right click device in device manager/update driver/no, not this time/install from a list/don't search, I will choose/netwrok adapters/ (as nothing shows up here) Have Disc/ (here I have a couple options, none of which work) folder of backed-up drivers/NVIDIA Network Bus Enumerator/ocem3.inf OR C:/NVIDIA/nForceWin2KXP/6.70/Ethernet/ nvenetfd.inf & nvnetbus.inf. also tried SMBus folder instead of Ethernet and nf4sys.inf & nvsmbus.inf.
ALL of which give me the same message:
"The specific location does not contain information about your hardware"
This is how I got it to work before so I am out of options now, thanx in advance.

Hi

PCI Bridge is generally istalled with the chipset drivers, but not knowing what PC brand and version or motherboard brand and version, its difficult to aim you in right direction, so below will help us get some background info.

Also what Windows version and is it fully upto date with latest service pack?
Any other yellow ! marks in device manager and if so by what?
What issues are you having with the PC and any BSOD or error messages appearing?
Is this a new clean install/repair or just started to happen?

If your PC is one from the likes of DELL, HP, Sony, etc what is the Make and model varient as this will assist us if we need drivers?

If your PC is a home or custom build what is the motherboard make and version?

To find this info you can use the likes of Everest to find this info, at times a summary log of your PC can help, to do this

Install Everest and run
Click Report (top menu) > Report Wizard > Next
Choose All Pages > Next
Choose Plain Text > Finish and wait for report to generate
Click Save to File and leave the File Name as Report, then click the Save as Type dropdown and choose Report files (*txt) and click Save (n.b. Save to desktop is best as easy place to find it, use Browse to locate desktop)

Then attach your log to your next post as per these instructions HOW TO: Attach Items To Your Post
