Fresh install of XP on a older machine, AthlonXP 2500+ on a Abit NF7-S2G mobo w/ 1gig pc3200.. I intalled and got SP1 on it, but the NVIDIA nForce2 AGP Host to PCI Bridge under the device manager says "This device cannot find enough free resources that it can use. (Code 12)" So I cant install the video card drivers !!! ARG!!

 

Anyone ever have this problem and can help me out???

Try removing all PCI cards and just have the AGP card in and see if that works.

 

2 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) Two devices have been assigned the same input/output (I/O) ports, the same interrupt, or the same Direct Memory Access channel (either by the BIOS, the operating system, or a combination of the two). This error message can also appear if the BIOS did not allocate enough resources to the device (for example, if a universal serial bus (USB) controller does not get an interrupt from the BIOS because of a corrupt Multiprocessor System (MPS) table).

 

You can use Device Manager to determine where the conflict is and disable the conflicting device.

 

On the General Properties tab of the device, click Troubleshoot to start the troubleshooting wizard.

After installing WinXP did ya install chipset drivers before trying to install vid card drivers? That would be my guess. nvidia.com

Ok I finally solved the problem.. And no one here will EVER guess what the problem was, so Ill tell you.. The graphics card that my wife has been using is a Kyro2 4500 from Hercules, and the Kyro2 4500 is 2xAGP.. The mobo only handles 4x and 8x agp.. That was the problem, so I put my old Radeon 9700pro and it works like a charm...
