Stuck in 800x600 with 4bit color with 8800 gts!!
Hey all...I have been so frustrated the past few days. I just set up my new
computer a few days ago. I installed windows xp and everything worked perfectly...I then used the vista upgrade that i got free when i purchased xp (it was a deal on newegg a few months ago) Vista installed fine but I have been stuck in 800x600 with 4bit color. I have installed the latest drivers several times, both in safe mode and regular. I downloaded all the windows updates...i even installed the latest nforce 570 drivers. I have reinstalled vista several times and I am still having the same problem. I spoke to EVGA tech support 3 times and they dont know what the problem is. The device manager has a exclamation point next to the 8800gts. It says "This device cannot find enough free resources that it can use. (Code 12)" I am about ready to give up on Vista completely. Please let me know what you guys think. Here is the info on my comp AMD 64 x2 4800+ Shuttle sn27p (case and motherboard) EVGA 8800GTS 640mb 2gb Corsair xms series ram |
