SM Bus Controler: System Management Bus - (SMBus, SMB) A simple two-wire bus used for communication with low-bandwidth devices on a motherboard, especially power related chips such as a laptop's rechargeable battery subsystem (see Smart Battery Data). Other devices might include temperature sensors and lid switches.

A device can provide manufacturer information, indicate its model/part number, save its state for a suspend event, report different types of errors, accept control parameters, and return status. The SMB is generally not user configurable or accessible.

PXE-E61 Media test failure Check cables: This error will occur when the PC is trying to perform a network boot, with the media disconnected. You can disable this feature in the bios.
You should be able to set your options to something like this:

1st Boot Device - IDE CD-ROM
2nd Boot Device - Floppy/Removable Storage
3rd Boot Device - IDE0
Try Other Boot Device - No

See what happens when you try to go online.

OK---When I was trying to get the PC to boot a few days ago I kept pressing the delete key. I entered setup---The bios--- anyway I looked for anything that said Boot. So in advanced the last item is---onboard lan boot rom: I enabled it. In an attemp to get it to Boot. I just when in the bios and disabled it. The problem is solved. THANKS
I notice my icons on the desk top are much smaller now. Does that have anthing to do with the chang I made in the Bios?

You can right click an empty space of the desktop & choose properties - appearance - effects & check use large icons.

See if this is what you want. There are additional settings to alter but perhaps this will restore what you had.

Yes I know. I was just wondering if me fooling around with that setting had something to do with it. Thanks for all your help. I'm going to put it on line tonight when I get home and lets see what happens. Thanks again-----It's been fun.

I don't see how anything you did in the BIOS would effect the appearance of the OS. I would guess it had more to do with the re-installing that you've been doing.

Anyway good luck

Let us know how it goes

I'm typing this to you on the once crashed emachine. Thanks so much for this site and all your help.
it's up and running fast. No more yellow?! on any drivers. How ever I do have a (-) sign on Network Adapters.
Here is what I did in the order I did them after I installed WinXP.
1. Installed---Norton Internet Secutity 2005
2. Installed--- My server- CompuServe
3. Installed---Live updates for Norton Internet Security 2005
4. Reg. Windows with microsoft
5. Installed---All the windows updates including service pac 2 and it's updates.
What else do I need to do?
I'm also looking for a free decoder for windows meda player to play DVD's
Thanks so much.

The (-) sign just means you have the Network Adapters tab "open".
Click the (-) & it should "close" & become (+).

Looks like you're all set to me.

Congrats!

As to the decoder it would probably be best to start a new thread in the
"Other Software" Section:
Post any issues here relating to software utilities like mp3 players, encoders, file compression etc.
