I just instaled vista beta2 and both my usb ports and sound are not working
acording to the vista upgrade advisor they should work but i get an error
message on the device manager about both devices not having eniugh resources
can some1 help???
 
Sounds like a BIOS ACPI compliancy issue. Vista is Advanced
Configuration & Power Interface only OS. The older "Standard
PC" HAL cannot be used. Resource allocation probably means
the BIOS reported itself as ACPI compliant but then when the
actual configuration took place it was unable to assign dedicated
resources. Might help if you provided PC specs or Vendor/model.
 
my computer is assembled with ECS D6VAA motherboard with dual pentiumIII 933
Mhz procesors 768 MB ram PC/133 120GB7200RPM HD Nvidia FX5200 Video card the
soundcar is detected as a via ac'97 and the usb is reported as VIA rev 5 or
late USB universal host controler. The motherboard has VIA VT82C686B chipset
if you need any more specs i will happily provide them

Thanks - Even being ~4.5-5 Years old that motherboard should be
ACPI compliant. Have you checked to see how many downstream
revisions your BIOS is from the latest on the vendor website ? I
would also check your BIOS settings and see if there is an ACPI
enable option. Many motherboards from that time frame had that
provision, especially VIA Chipset ones. Dual CPU boards are a
specialty configuration, so it's difficult to offer exacting advice on
how to proceed.
 
I just checked the device manager again and found 3 entries regarding ACPI
ACPI Fan
ACPI Fixed Feauture Button
ACPI Thermal Zone
All this are reported under VISTA
 
Checked the bios and ACPI is enabled any other ideas plz help i really like
the look of vista but no sound and having to use an old ps2 mouse due to no
usb is frustrating
 
Do this:
1.) Add a System Environment Variable named.
DevMgr_Show_NonPresent_Devices
2.) Set it's value = 1
3.) Open Device Manager
4.) Click View, Tic/Check "Show Hidden Devices"
5.) Check for presence of category "Unknown Devices"
6.) Also any devices with Red X or Yellow Exclamation point
Also, from System Tools run System Information. Expand the
Hardware/Resources category and click the sub-option called
"Conflicts/Sharing". ( It will be normal to see devices sharing
IRQs). What I suspect is your Motherboard has no APIC which
extends IRQs beyond 15 up to 23. Your issue may be that the MB
is ACPI compliant but doesn't have adequate number of IRQs to
allocate to devices.
 
On the device manager both usb and audio have a yellow exclamation point and
give me the following error:
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 'Check for solutions' to send data about this device to Microsoft and
to see if there is a solution available.

On system information i have the following under Conflicst Sharing:

Seems like an IRQ allocation issue. Most ACPI (Newer) MBs
will have available IRQs up to 23. Since your setup is capped
at 16 it's definitely run out of IRQ lines to use. You might still
want to check your BIOS settings for other items that conflict
with ACPI, like Advanced Power Management (APM) and
how your PCI slots are configured. Some motherboards share
IRQs on particular slots. Most times, only slots 2/5 have what's
called "Independent IRQ Allocation".

Not sure about these new "Pseudo" IRQs in the 80+ range. It's
definitely a new hardware feature of Vista. My new Sony Vaio
notebook has IRQs that extend up to 190.
