Device Manager Code 12 error? Need Help

[jtadd247]

Hey, im needing some advise or some kind of direction in trying to fix this problem...im getting a code 12 on a Linksys Wireless notebook card driver.  The thing is i have had this device loaded on this laptop of mine and for no reason (at least not to my knowledge) it just stopped working.  I've tried everything i know to do...i even deleted the partition and reformated the hard drive and reloaded windows xp OS and still its not working...same error everytime...

Does anyone have a suggestion for me?  Let me know I would very much appreciate it.

Thanks

Its resource conflict, IRQ, DMA, Memory, or I/O. Try using the trouble shooter to see it can be resolved.

ok, well, the prob is still there, i went through the entire trouble shooter on the code 12 error and still nothing.  One major problem is i cant see what resource address the device is using because under the resource tab it just informs me that i do not have enough resource memory.  What leaves me puzzled is the fact that it worked three days ago and I couldnt tell you what happened because its my daughters laptop...who knows what she may have done.  Im wondering it the problem is not in the bios....what would you recommend doing next....do you think flashing the bios with an update from dell would fix it.  The laptop is a Dell D600.

thanks

I first start off by saying I never recommend someone
flashing their BIOS.=Door Stop.If you do, take your time
and really read up on the procedure.

Systems:      Dell Latitude D600 Series
Version:      A15
Build Date:   01/26/2005

Read all of the below page first.
I never recommend a BIOS upgrade but,this one
below mentions added support for wireless cards.

The newest BIOS flash for your laptop is
D600_A16.exe. See Below.

I really covered my *censored* about never flash the BIOS so I want
feel guilt ridden.

This is still a possibility. If this is a plug in wireless card, can you uninstall the drivers and try another card, at least for a bit, to see where the problem really is?

I don't think a BIOS flash is relevant if it worked one day and not the next with the same equipment.
