I posted this message on Windows Basic NG, but no one responded. Now I'm
trying on this forum...
Today, I turned on my machine (WinXP SP2 with all updates) and instead of
starting Windows, I got a message <Resource conflict - PCI Network
Controller in slot 02 Bus:01, Device:0D, Function: 00 Press F1 to resume,
Del to setup.>
Pressing F1 resumes Windows download, but it frizzes as soon as desktop
appears. Pressing Del opens Setup, which looks normal (didn't touch it).
What's going on? What could be wrong with PCI? Is there a way to fix it?
Any suggestion is appreciated.
 
Turn the PC off, then remove the PCI network card.
Next turn on the PC and let Windows load, once Windows is up and running
shut down Windows (PC totally off).
Insert the Network card back into the PCI slot.
Turn on the PC and again let Windows load, Windows should report it has
discovered new hardware and load the drivers.
See if the problem is now solved.

JS,
thanks for your suggestion. I like it, it's easy and may work. Tomorrow,
I'll check it and see if it works...

The problem is with your BIOS, there is a setting that is wrong someplace. You have not even
started to load Windows until after you hit the F1 key. Check your BIOS settings and make sure they
are accurate.
 
JS,
you're absolutely right! Just followed your advice and, Voila!, everything
is back to normal...
Thanks for your help!
