Do you have XP with SP1 on the CD? (i.e. from Sager) or is it a pre-SP1 cd?

I think that's for the card reader (but I thought the 8890 dropped the memory stick reader)...

and you are experiencing the Device Manager reported error:

?SM Bus Controller

Then go to the website below and download the file called:

Before you install it do the following:

SET A RESTORE POINT in XP/2000/ME or backup your system JUST IN CASE!!!!! better safe than sorry.

Problem should be solved after restart.

Hope this helps.
