Hi all

After install windos server 2003 on a HP DL 140, i have tried to install a pci device ( PCI to PCMCIA card ) but it said that windows can't find enougth free resources for this device (Error code 12).
I already removed all devices that i don't need and reboot without and with PCI card, but i allways have this problem.
i hope that someone cab help me

thanks

it's the first generation DL140.
the PCI card is generic, big part of them use the RICOH chipset
Windows see it as a
Ricoh R/RL/RT/RC/5C475(II), R5C520 or Compatible CardBus Controller .

I clear the CMOS, windows reinstall the PCI card but no change in final.
i have already checked for your second solution about IRQ conflict but there is none, windows says only "Error code 12, not enougth free resources".
i'm surprised that we can't resserve IRQ in a HP Server's BIOS.
If noone can help me, i think i will have to change of server.

thank you
