Windows 7 Problems With NVIDIA 7600 GT

[adam_computer]

I installed the Pre-release Driver for my NVIDIA 7600 GT video card, and restarted my computer. It said it had successfully installed, but i cannot seem to be able to display the native resolution of 1440 x 990 for my 19 inch widescreen monitor and on Device manager I get the following message -

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.

Could someone please help me to find a way how to solve this issue.

Windows 7 RC build 7100 (dual booted with) Windows XP proffesional
2gb RAM
256 Mb Nvidia 7600Gt graphics card
Intel pentium D ( i cant remember which model i have, but it is 2.8 GHZ)

It seems like you are encountering a resource conflict issue with your NVIDIA 7600 GT video card on Windows 7 RC build 7100. The error message "This device cannot find enough free resources that it can use. (Code 12)" indicates that there might be a resource allocation problem, which could be due to multiple devices trying to use the same resources. Here are some steps you can take to address this problem:

Steps to Resolve Code 12 Error:​

1. Check Other Devices:
   • Go to Device Manager and check for any other devices that might be conflicting with your NVIDIA 7600 GT. Look for any devices with yellow exclamation marks indicating issues.
   []Manually Assign Resources:
   • You can manually assign resources for the video card in Device Manager:
     • Right-click on the NVIDIA 7600 GT in Device Manager.
     • Select "Properties" and go to the "Resources" tab.
     • Check the box to "Use automatic settings" first to allow Windows to configure the resource settings.
     • If that doesn't work, uncheck "Use automatic settings," and manually assign IRQ, DMA, and I/O resources. This might require some trial and error.
   []Update Drivers:
   • Ensure you have the latest drivers for your NVIDIA 7600 GT compatible with Windows 7. Sometimes updated drivers can resolve resource conflicts.
   []Disable Conflicting Devices:
   • As a temporary solution, you can try disabling other devices in Device Manager to free up resources for the NVIDIA card. This might help in identifying the conflicting device.
   []BIOS Settings:
   • Check your BIOS settings to see if there are any conflicting configurations related to resource allocation. You might need to adjust settings to resolve resource conflicts.
   []Check for Hardware Issues:
   • Make sure all your hardware components are seated properly in their slots. Sometimes loose connections can cause resource allocation issues.
   []System Compatibility:
   • Verify that all your hardware components are compatible with Windows 7 RC build 7100 to ensure smooth operation.

     Additional Tips:​

     • System Stability: Since you are running a dual-boot system with Windows XP, ensure that the hardware configurations are stable in both operating systems.
     • Backup Data: Before making significant changes, ensure you have backups of important data in case something goes wrong during troubleshooting.
     By following these steps, you should be able to troubleshoot and resolve the Code 12 error related to your NVIDIA 7600 GT video card on Windows 7 RC build 7100. Let me know if you encounter any difficulties or if you need further assistance!
