It seems like you're facing an issue with getting your TP-Link TL-WN353G wireless card to work on Windows 7 due to the error code 12, which states "this device cannot find enough free resources that it can use." This error typically occurs when the device is unable to find adequate resources to function properly. To resolve this problem, you can try the following steps: 1. Update Drivers: - Ensure you have the latest drivers for your wireless card. Although TP-Link provides Vista drivers, they might not work correctly on Windows 7. You can try searching for Windows 7 drivers compatible with your wireless card model. 2. Check Device Manager: - Go to Device Manager and look for any conflicts with your wireless card. If there's a resource conflict, you may see a yellow exclamation mark next to your device. 3. Configure Resources: - You can try manually configuring the resources for the wireless card in Device Manager. This can sometimes resolve resource allocation issues. - Right-click on your wireless card in Device Manager, go to Properties, and then the Resources tab. Here you can try manually setting the resources for the device. 4. BIOS Settings: - Check your computer's BIOS settings to ensure that resources are allocated properly. Sometimes, adjusting the BIOS settings can help resolve resource conflicts. 5. Use Compatibility Mode: - Since you've already tried running the Vista drivers in compatibility mode without success, you might want to consider looking for alternative drivers or solutions. 6. Contact TP-Link Support: - If none of the above steps work, consider reaching out to TP-Link support for assistance. They may have further suggestions or alternative drivers that could resolve the issue. By following these steps, you should be able to troubleshoot and resolve the resource allocation issue with your TP-Link TL-WN353G wireless card on Windows 7. Let me know if you need further assistance or if you have any other questions.
