I have a Compaq Presario notebook w/ Win2k. We are trying to attach it to a docker through a PCI Bus card. However in device manager the Texas Instrument PCI bus card controller doesn't work. It says "Not enough resources for this device try disabling another device so this device will work." It is showing that there are no conflicts. (obviously there is) I tried getting drivers from Compaq and Texas Instrument all to no avail. any suggestions?

Hi,
Rather than answering your question, I need to ask you a few questions for more information.

What kind of PCI bus card is it?
What are the model numbers of the Presario and the card?
Have you tried to disable another device?
What make yousay that there is a conflict?
Laptops don't have all the devices that usual desktops have.
I will try to look for solution to this as soon as there is more information available.
Sorry,

It is a Texas Instrument PCI 1410 controller card.
Presario 700
No I haven't disabled any othe rdevices b/c I really want all of the devices. and how should i know which device to free up that will satisfy the IRQ for this card. There obviously isa conflict due to the fact that they are all plug and play, the I/O and IRQ that this card is set to take is obviously being used by another device however I don't know which one. (Microsofts Knowledge Base) Thanks for trying.

there is a update on the windows update page that addresses a known problem with W2K and Docking stations. This is a known problem after appling service pack 3. Check the Windows update page for the hotfix.

I will have to try it and get back to you if it works.
Thanks for the suggestions.
