Couple of tools

Not sure what you need, exactly, but have a look at the following site: http://www.driverguide.com/, its a totally free site. The next one, be 'very' careful when you use it, it does give back info, and it can lead you to where you can get it on your own, BUT, it also tries to sell the 'download', so just be careful. Also, it can be a little confusing, there's stuff telling you what you have and what you might need and its all mixed up, so again be careful: http://www.radarsync.com/ -- at this site the 'info' is free not the download. In addition, have you tried thier website: http://www.emachines.com/support/product_support.html?cat=Desktops&subcat=H-Series&model=H6207
Good luck,
Eddie

still need help please
Jun 8, 2007 2:12PM PDT

I just need to know the specific driver and where to find it for my computer type. I have gone to driver guides and they have them for intel chipsets, as well no where on the emachines site do they have drivers for the sm bus controller. Video and sound yes, none for the sm bus controller.

If anyone can post what specific file or driver I should download to fix the SM Bus Controller for my computer specs I would be greatly appreciated.

Someone on another site referred me to get the motherboard drivers for my computer, I installed them and it works now.
