    If it is a laptop computer, shut down Windows and remove the battery and the power supply of the PC.

    Wait a few minutes, and then reconnect the battery and start Windows.

    His salvation,

    Thanks for posting your query in Microsoft Community Forum.

    1. What are the troubleshooting steps you have tried so far?
    2. If it works much earlier? If so, did you do changes on the computer before this problem?
    3. What type of USB device you are using?

    As you mentioned that the USB device does not work when plugged into a WinXP machine, it may be a problem with the device itself. In addition, the question may also arise if the currently loaded USB driver has become unstable or damaged or if your PC requires an update for problems that could conflict with a device USB and Windows.

    Therefore, I suggest you try the following methods (skip the ones that you already tried) and check if the problem persists.

    Method 1:

    Please try the fixit (s) provided below which will help you solve common problems associated with devices and USB ports.

    If method 1 does not work, try Method 2.

    Method 2:

    Remove and reinstall all USB controllers.

    1. Open Manager devices by clicking the Start button, click Control Panel, click system and security, and then, under System, clicking Device Manager. If you are prompted for an administrator password or a confirmation, type the password or provide confirmation.
    2. In the list of the categories of equipment, locate and expand Bus USB controllers.
    3. Right-click every device under the Bus USB controllers node and then click Uninstall to remove them one at a time.
    4. Restart the computer and let the USB controllers get reinstalled.
    5. Plug in the removable USB device and test to make sure that the problem is solved.

    If the problem persists, go to method 3.

    Method 3:

    This method will install the latest drivers from device to your USB device.

    1. Click the Start button, type Windows Update in the search box, and then click Windows Update in the results pane.
    2. Click find updates. When the scan finished, click optional review updates.
    3. Click the check box next to the update, and then click install updates.
    4. If you are prompted, read the license agreement, then click I agree.
    5. Follow the instructions on the screen to download and install updates.
    6. If you are prompted, restart your computer.

  • This device cannot find enough free resources that it can use. If you want to use this device, you will need to disable one of the other devices on this system (Code 12)

    Guys, I have a problem. So, my laptop has 2 graphics cards, an integrated course of the Intel HD graphics (which works perfectly) and the other being the dedicated Nvidia graphics (Nvidia GeForce 940 m). Until 2 days ago, everything was going well and running.

    I have the application experience GeForce and it prompted me that there is a new driver update should I download. He started to install then after rebooting to complete the installation, it failed. I checked my device manager and saw a yellow exclamation under under my Nvidia graphics card (remember, my laptop has two graphics cards: Nvidia graphics card and Intel HD graphics that works correctly). I immediately checked the details, and he said:

    "This device cannot find enough free resources that it can use. (Code 12) »

    "If you want to use this device, you will need to disable one of the other devices on this system."

    This seemed very strange, because it was LITERALLY working properly before I was invited about update driver I got, so I don't know what to do - as a matter of fact, literally, I finished this game, Deadpool, with my Nvidia card that I put as the default graphics card, a few hours before , so I don't know why this happened. Any help? I'm looking for a logical answer to this, guys!

    Additional information:

    A few days before this happened, I went to my store local pc and installed an extra 4 gigs of ram on my 4 existing to make 8. Don't know if it's useful, but anyway

    If I pick up my laptop and shake it side by side, I hear a slight rattling noise, and it seems a little loose (I found this out after seeing the error message). The noise seems to come from just below the middle of my keyboard (I'm using a laptop). If for some reason, my Nvidia card is loose? Is this possible?

    I am quite technologically inclined, but not to the extent of removing components and reconstruction cell phones / pc and access the bios and what not. I can only remove/add ram.

    I want to know if its something I am able to fix it because I do not necessarily want to go running and sending my laptop places - only my pc up shop.

    Here is the location of my Nvidia card: PCI Slot 4 (PCI bus 4, device 0, function 0)

    My specs:

    Acer TravelMate p257-MG

    Windows 7 business

    Intel core i5-5200u 2.20 GHz 2.20 Ghz processor

    8.00 GB of ram

    64-bit operating system

    1 t hard drive

    940 m Intel HD graphics 5500 & Nvidia Geforce card

    Just to recap, I get the error on my Nvidia graphics card code, "this device cannot find enough free resources that it can use. (Code 12) ""If you want to use this device, you will need to disable one of the other devices on this system. »
