I've just done a clean install of Windows ME on a K6-2/500 with a FIC PA-2013 motherboard. Everything went in find except I'm getting a flag in Device Manager on the "VIA Tech 82C586B (PIPC)PCI to ISA bridge." I get the same notation regardless of whether I'm using the Win ME drivers or the VIA 4-in-1, etc. The performance of the machine doesn't seem to suffer, but I'm nervous having any controller components not reporting that they're working correctly.

I'd really appreciate any help anyone might have.

Thanks.

1) unzip the 4in1 drivers in a temp or dummy folder. (4in1.24 or ?)
2) Delete the PCI to ISA bridge in Device manager and hit "refresh" or reboot.
3) When it asks for the driver or any missing files then point (browse) it at that folder with the unzipped drivers. There will be a win Me folder in there I'm sure.
4) Delete the folder when done.

If your not using any ISA devides (modem etc..) then that might explain why you haven't noticed any issues.
