Satellite Pro A300: code 12 - this device cannot find enough resources

I use Vista Business 32 on my Toshiba Satellite Pro A300.

Recently, I plugged my parallel to my laptop port adapter and the Device Manager, I had a device that said conflict error, "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. »

Can anyone help me please with sorting on this problem?

Hello

This is a typical mistake if both devices have been attributed, ports of entry/exit (e/s), the same interrupt, or the same Direct access channel in memory.
This error message can also appear if the BIOS did not allocate enough resources for the device.

If seems that the resources are already used by another device, and so there is a conflict with the parallel port adapter that you have installed manually.

I think you can only solve this check other devices that use the same resources and then that disabling in Device Manager.

    Error code 12:

    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)

    Cause:

    This error can occur if two devices that are installed on your computer received the same i/o ports, the same interrupt, or the same Direct memory access channel (whether through BIOS, the operating system, or both). This error message can also appear if the BIOS did not allocate enough resources for the device.

    I suggest you download the latest drivers for the graphics drivers on the Intel site and see if the problem is resolved. Check the links below.

  • 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

    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. »

  • Removed USB controllers: can not return - "this device cannot find enough free resources that it can use. (Code 12)

    Original title: removed USB controllers: can not return

    Hello

    So today I tried to connect to a printer, and it wouldn't work (separate the issue, I don't want to worry about that now)

    I've seen several messages saying: you need to uninstall the USB controllers in Device Manager and then restart your PC. The pilots would then automatically reinstalled.

    It didn't happen, and now my Dell touch screen does not work. I can miss several other USB controllers too, I uninstalled about 3 of them, but I don't know whether or not it has been reinstalled.

    I currently have:

    -Hub USB generic

    -Enhanced host controller USB Intel (R) 8 series #1-9C 26

    -USB root hub

    -Host controller compatible xHCI USB

    Note that the last of them was a symbol of error on it and reads as follows:

    "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. »

    Can someone please tell me how much USB controllers I should have and how to save them?

    Thank you very much

    Hi Shalini.

    Thanks for the reply, but if you read through the posts on this thread, I think you will find that it has already been suggested that I do these two things - what I've done many times without result.

    Fortunately, I managed to fix it myself.

    To satisfy your curiosity and help someone else who could see this thread with a similar problem, here are the steps I took finally solve the problem:

    ______________________________________________

    I was always convinced that the problem is basically with the xHCI USB controller that I saw always reported as not working not properly in the device (Code 12) Manager. With this in mind, I set out to see if I could determine what the device was supposed to be in conflict with. I ran msinfo32 and began to examine the conflicts/sharing section. After a while, I decided I could not see anything obviously problematic or direct me to the controller xHCI, so I gave up on that front.

    Well, if I couldn't fix the problem with the current installation, maybe that I could find another way to install the xHCI USB controller that could circumvent the flaw that seems to be caused when windows reinstalls automatically it when restarting after the abduction. So I started trying to learn more about this "xHCI USB controller" - since Googling this term has given no end of problems not related.

    In Device Manager, I found a way to isolate the details of this driver in device (somewhere under the properties I believe) Manager. This has created a custom device showing in view only a select few connects the Manager. I have spent some time in the analysis of these and found the time during which the camera has stopped working properly. Suddenly a pattern emerges. Over and over again, see you the following series of when I was hoping that allowing windows to reinstall automatically the driver would to fix:
    • Device PCI VEN_8086 & DEV_9C31 & SUBSYS_05F91028 & REV_04\3 & 11583659 & 0 & A0 has been removed

    [Rebooted PC]

    • Device PCI VEN_8086 & DEV_9C31 & SUBSYS_05F91028 & REV_04\3 & 11583659 & 0 & A0 has been configured
    • Device PCI VEN_8086 & DEV_9C31 & SUBSYS_05F91028 & REV_04\3 & 11583659 & 0 & A0 had a problem starting.

    Under each newspaper was referring to a driver name, I didn't already had access to: driver name: usbxhci.inf

    Now I got some new information about the xHCI USB controller, I took to Google. After much research (and not find something relevant), I found 2 obscure references to the driver who seemed at least somewhat relevant.
    The first reference has been a post on the forum where someone's USB ports stopped working. very similar problem to mine! There is little of any particular use in the nets, with the exception of the reference to a couple of windows updates: KB 2823516 or KB2822241

    It is not clear exactly what usbxhci.inf capacity was tied to these updates, but I made a note of them and moved.

    Another article contained no mention of specific ports USB not working does not and was centered around a different problem entirely. However, he has mentioned an another windows update: KB2919355-x 64.msu

    This one (as I remember) was clearer on the relationship between the update and changes to the usbxhci.inf file.

    Now, I had three updates which could make changes to usbxhci.inf at one point. With their name on a piece of paper, I started looking through my updates installed to see which ones I had installed. I soon discovered that Ko 2823516 or KB2822241 were not present on my PC, which saved the penalty to guess who would be the right to uninstall first.

    KB2919355 has been installed, and I made the decision to uninstall it, because as far as I knew, this update changed something in usbxhci.inf. After the initial uninstall was completed, but before the mandatory reboot for changes to take effect, I went into Device Manager and removed the xHCI USB... because I was afraid that if the new, "defective" was always present during the reinstallation of the update, it doesn't change anything.

    The device is removed once more, I rebooted the system. He drives for a considerable period, uninstall the update and then seems to have some sort of hitch; declare something in the sense of "we could not complete the operation. Changes to undo. " He stayed like that for a while before the system became operational again and began to "prepare windows. Once it was over, I discovered that my touchscreen and USB ports worked very well.

    Investigation later showed that the compatible USB xHCI host controller was is no longer marked with warnings. In addition, a series of USB controllers appeared that had not been there when the xHCI device was defective. I was also pleased to note that the update of windows for KB2919355 had already been reinstalled without messing up anything.

    Hello

    Microsoft says that this error message especially if two or more devices have been attributed, ports of entry/exit (e/s), the same interrupt, or the same Direct access channel in memory. The assignment was made by the basic input/output system (BIOS), the operating system, or a combination of both.
    This error message can also appear if the BIOS did not allocate enough resources for the device.

    To resolve this problem, you should go to Device Manager and should remove/uninstall the graphics card from the list of devices.
    Then, you should reboot the device and need to reinstall the driver of compatible graphics card.

    PS: Take a look at the BIOS. If a newer version is available and then try to update.

  • Display card reader cannot find enough resources

    HI all - I volunteer administer laptops for a small school.  Last week a motherboard (not an Acer) fried, and a kid dropped her Acer crashed hard drive.  So I took the disk hard non-Acer, with his system and software always on this issue and put in the Acer laptop.  It starts OK and I installed some drivers from the Acer site.  However, I was not able to get the installed display adapter driver, and now the laptop is limited to the resolution 1024 x 768.

    The hard disk came from a computer with an AMD processor and an AMD/ATI video card.  The Acer computer has a processor Intel and Intel HD Graphics.  I ran the Intel driver installation program from the Acer site.  I tried "Uninstall" in the Device Manager display adapter and reinstall.  The only time where I had the Intel driver to install, its status was, "this device cannot find enough free resources that it can use.  (Code 12) "at the present time, sort the display adapter has been restored"Standard VGA Graphics Adapter", but even that cannot find enough free resources.

    I don't know if this is relevant, but following some advice I found in a forum, I tried to uninstall a couple of devices under system devices.  Specifically, even if I installed the Intel chipset drivers and I see them in the Device Manager, I still see two devices called "AMD PCI Express (3GIO) Filter Driver".  That cannot be good.  I tried to uninstall both, but the uninstall dialog box never ends.  I tried Mode without failure, but same result.  I tried to delete the referenced driver, AtiPcie.sys, but then the computer cannot start.

    Any ideas what I need to do to get the Intel driver work?

    Thank you!

    Thanks philetus - I'm not back to school until last night.  I deleted all the system programs and all HP bloatware programs but no change.

    Of course I can't simply run factory recovery when the hard drive of the plant is dead and that the computer has a hard disk of another company.  But I'll just reimage the entire hard drive - I found an image of the entire system, I took a couple of years.

    Thank you all,

    Try this - Panel - Device Manager - CD/DVD - double click on the device - driver tab.

    Another possibility is that the cables are loose. Remove ALL power, then make sure that the cables in both

    Some DVD players do not use the Windows default drivers so check with the manufacturer of system and

    Hello

    I m not a Linux expert, but I think that the reason is missing SATA drivers.
    Normally, on each notebook with SATA HDD, you need SATA drivers to recognize the HARD drive before installing OS.
    If you install Windows XP or Vista, you need storage for this Manager. The drivers can be loaded with an external floppy drive.
    But I put t know how it works on Linux

    An alternative you can change in the mode of AHCI Compatible HARD disk BIOS. Then, you don't need drivers and your disk should be recognized correctly.

    Otherwise, I recommend this thread: http://forums.computers.toshiba-europe.com/forums/ann.jspa?annID=14
