CardBus Controller cannot find resources

I just received my 4760, and everything installed cleanly (I got it without an OS, and installed Win2k Server)

It has:
WiFi
Bluetooth
Camera
DVD/CDRW
3GHz
1GB Ram
80GB HD

among all the other non-optional pieces.

After installing all the drivers (following the order specified in the manual), I looked in Device Manager, and the "ENE CB1410 CARDBUS CONTROLLER" is flagged with a yellow ( ! )

The message on it's Properties for "Device Status" is:

This device cannot find enough free resources that it can use. (Code 12)

If you want to use this device, you will need to disable one of the other devices on this system.

Click Troubleshooter to start the troubleshooter for this device.

------------
This isn't an immediate problem for me, since I don't yet have any PCMCIA cards to use, but I'd like to resolve it for the future.

Even if it means identifying what conflicts and disabling that in an alternate "Hardware Profile", that might be necessary, but the Resources page says:
Resource Settings:
This device cannot find enough free resources that it can use.

If you want to use this device, you will need to disable one of the other devices on this system.
------------
It doesn't list what devices are conflicting though, or what resources that it wants/needs.

Hi:

Go into your device manager and delete the cardbus controller and reboot your machine. On reboot your OS shoud detect the correct hardware and either install it or prompt you for your system drivers.

Also go into your BIOS and make shure that the device is listed in your bios settings.



Good Luck

I jsut had a talk with another user who had the same problem with Windows 2000 Pro and he updated to SP4 and it took care of the problem. You may want to try to do any updates you can to see if it takes care of this.

I'm running win xp sp1 and have encoutnered the exact same problem.

Here's my scenario. Stock out of the bag, everything works like it was intended to do. See my sig for system specs.

Well, I go to plug in my Sprint Novatel Cellular modem and get the same thing under the Device Manager for the card. Cannot find enough resources. I could easily identify which resources were in conflict (COM1, and the infared port).

Even after disabling both of these devices, rebooting, etc. whenever I went back in to dial up networking, it wouldn't see the card. Even though I could go into the device manager and see that the card was not causing a conflict.

I'm starting to think that these laptops come so loaded as it is that adding anything that requires additional system resources (irq's, memory ranges) are out of the question. Even when you go to the device manager and tinker with the advanced settings, I was still unable to get it to work. If I were to spend an insane amount of time screwing with it, I'm sure I could get some results, its just not that important to me at this time.

If anyone else has any solutions I'd love to hear em.
