Default CODE 12 (device cannot find enough resources that it can use)


I have installed Nvidia Geforce 8400GS (graphics card), I'm running
Vista (Home), I'm trying to use my Sharp 32" HDTV as a monitor. I have
downloaded the latest drivers and also set the BIOS driver to AUTO as to
use the add-in (Nvidia) device. Even though I get an image on the TV
monitor, the hardware device shows "this device cannot find enough free
resources that it can use" CODE 12. (Note: I have already disabled the
built-in graphic device that came with the computer) The resolution is
extremely poor and I can't think of any other trick I could use to
resolve the problem.
Any help is definitely welcome.
Thanks
Frank

Default CODE 12 (device cannot find enough resources that it can use)

How much onboard memory does your 8400GS card have?
What resolution are you trying to output over what interface to your HDTV?
What driver version from the NVIDIA Website are you using?
What resolution is your PC desktop set to?

This appears to have been solved in the NVIDIA forums.

Thanks for the tip, however it did not work in this case. The thread
indicates using command BCDEDIT /set CONFIGACCESS POLICY
DISALLOWMMCONFIG

I assume you rebooted afterwords - right?

What model 32" Sharp?
What happens if you send a lower resolution?
Are you using a dual link DVI cable? It may be required for 2560x1600.

Default CODE 12 (device cannot find enough resources that it can use)


The TV is a SHARP 26” (my mistake), model: LC-26SH10U, the cable is a
BELKIN HDMI Interface-to-DVI Video Cable. I don’t know that it is a dual
link cable. Your questions prompted me to read the cable specs and it
will support high-definition (720p to 1080p) and standard video (480i to
480p), so I must change the resolution coming out of the NVIDIA graphics
card to meet the cable specification. One of the other problems I’m
facing is that I have not been able to install a “control panel”
provided by NVIDIA, I don’t know why, it only load something call NVIDIA
PhysX properties, but not the actual control panel, I will contact
NVIDIA on this. Anyway, I will pursue this potential solution for now.
Once again, thanks.

Since your TV has fixed native resolution of 1366x768 there is no reason to
send it any higher resolution since it would have to be downscaled(delete
data) to 1366x768
If you right click on empty space on your desktop what options do you get?
A control panel option should be present,.
