Spybot Search and Destroy scans multiple registries in side by side Windows installs

From the Spybot Help file:

I have two installations on my hard disk. Can I scan both at the same time? FAQ #041 Yes, if you have Windows 2000, XP, 2003 or Vista, Spybot-S&D does allow you to scan inactive Windows versions as well, including the registry of other installations!

To scan your system including installations on other partitions, right-click the link/icon you use to start Spybot-S&D, and add /allhives to the command line (separated by a space from the rest). If you now start Spybot-S&D through this link, it will automatically detect other installations, and scan theirs registries and files as well.

When Windows Driver Manager can't find a driver

PCI Simple Communications Driver - HP DC7800 SFF

After installing all the drivers from the HP website for Windows XP, turned out that there was one that didn't look like a driver but helped overcome three yellow exclamation marked devices:

  • PCI Simple Communications Device
  • Serial Port
  • Unknown Device

This was: Intel AMT LMS_SOL for AMT 3.xx This package contains the Intel Local Management Service (LMS) and Serial-over-LAN (SOL) support for Intel Active Management Technology (AMT) for the supported desktop models and operating systems.
