Hey guys,
What about the message "This device cannot find enough free resources that it can
use. (Code 12)".
This is on a Dell Inspiron 8500. I flashed the BIOS, uninstalled and reinstalled
ad nauseum, spend about 25-30 hours with Microsoft on the phone, a couple of hours
with Motoroal (the PCMCIA card I am trying to install is a Motoral Wireless notebook
adapter WN825G), but to no avail. Dell, in order to help asks for 100.00$US an hour,
bastards...
Any help greatly appreciated. I think it is a file corruption that contains IRQ and/or
memory usage. Is this on the disk or in the BIOS ROM? Is there any way to fix/repair?
Any help is greatly appreciated, this freaking thing is driving me crazy!!!!
