I have a Dell inspiron 6000 and I'm trying to install a Belkin N1 notebook card to no avail. Windows keeps throwing up ' unable to install not enough free resources '.
Question is how do I free up resources without re installing windows?
Hope you guys can help

check free disk space ..

check alternative drivers..

also stop some services and background running programs from msconfig..

and check registry..

Just disabled 4 versions of intel r lan, in the config. Laptop hung up in safe mode. Now doing sys restore

you could enable them also in safe mode.. I dont think sys restore was necessary.. anyway you will have a fresh registry, so not a bad idea..

Down loaded a new driver from intel, now intel radio works but only for a few minutes but still can't get the Belkin to work. Windows just does not see it. [smiley=undecided.gif] [smiley=undecided.gif]

Yes but seems there are 4 different things using the same irq but I'm not sure how to change them or if I need to

bios setup..

on older platforms it was definitely a problem, but xp,vista, win7 handles irq collision "mostly" without issue..   however not sure for 4 devices.. also it depends on dma usage and some other factors..

OS is xp
Intel USB Host controller on PCI 17
Intel Wireless on PCI 17 ( this one keeps turning itself off)
Conextant modem PCI 17
SDA Standard Comliant SD host controller PCI 17
If I reinstall the Belkin it to plonks itself on PCI 17

Just looked thro' the PDF you advised. Will have to disable the stuff connected to PCI 17 and see what happens when I reinstall the Belkin software. Bit of a pain in the arse this, as it was running fine untill my daughter when on F B to talk to mates. [smiley=2vrolijk_08.gif] [smiley=2vrolijk_08.gif]
