I opened a ticket with ECS, told them I had installed the 070807 BIOS for the PT-890T-A motherboard from the ECS website, quoted the email from Microsoft, and referenced this forum. ECS responded with instructions to update to the 070807 BIOS. After informing them that I had already done this, as noted in my original request, they sent me this followup:

"Could you please check your BIOS and see if the parrallel port is showing in there or NOT."

Does anyone know of a relation between the PCI-PCI Bridge problem and the presence or absence of a parallel port in BIOS? Or perhaps ECS support is actually an outdated version of ELIZA? :-)

Thanks.
