| 1 | This device is not configured correctly. (Code 1) | After downloading a
compatible driver for the device, click the Update Driver button and
follow the wizard's prompts to install the new driver. |
| 3 | The driver for this device might be corrupted, or your
system might be running low on memory or other resources.
(Code 3) | Check
available memory and, if necessary, close some programs to free up RAM.
If you have sufficient memory, try uninstalling and reinstalling the
driver. |
| 10 | This device cannot start. (Code 10) | Device failed to start.
Click the Update Driver button to install updated drivers if any are
available. The Troubleshoot button might provide useful information as
well. |
| 12 | This device cannot find
enough free resources that it can use. If you want to use this device,
you need to disable one of the other devices on this system. (Code 12) | The device has been
assigned one or more I/O ports, IRQs, or DMA channels used
by another device. This error message can also appear if the BIOS is
configured incorrectly (for example, if a USB controller doesn't get an
IRQ from the BIOS). Check BIOS settings. Use the Resources tab to
identify the conflicting device. |
| 14 | This device cannot
work properly until you restart your computer. (Code 14) | The driver has
probably been installed correctly, but it will not be started until you
reboot the system. |
| 16 | Windows cannot identify
all the resources this device uses. (Code 16) | A legacy device is improperly
configured. Use the Resources tab to fill in the missing details. |
| 18 | Reinstall the
drivers for this device. (Code 18) | Click the Update Driver button to start the Update
Hardware wizard and reinstall the driver. |
| 19 | Your registry might be corrupted. (Code 19) | Incorrect or conflicting
information is entered in the registry settings for this device. Try
uninstalling and then reinstalling the driver. Try using System Restore
to roll back the configuration to a point when the device worked
properly. |
| 21 | Windows is removing this device. (Code 21) | The system will remove
the device. Wait a few seconds, and then refresh the Device Manager
view. If the device continues to display, restart the computer. |
| 22 | This device is
disabled. (Code 22) | The
device has been disabled using Device Manager. To enable it, click the
Enable Device button. |
| 24 | This device is not
present, is not working properly, or does not have all its drivers
installed. (Code 24) | This is a catch-all error that can be
caused by bad hardware or corrupt or incompatible drivers. This message
also appears after you use the Remove Device option. |
| 28 | The drivers for this device are not installed. (Code 28) | After downloading a
compatible driver for the device, click the Update Driver button and
follow the wizard's prompts to install the new driver. |
| 29 | This device is disabled because the firmware of the device did
not give it the required resources. (Code 29) | This is most commonly
seen with SCSI adapters, third-party disk controllers, and other devices
that supply their own BIOS. Check the documentation for the device to
learn how to re-enable it. |
| 31 | This device is not
working properly because Windows cannot load the drivers required for
this device. (Code 31) | Windows
was unable to load the driver, probably because it is not compatible
with Windows Vista. After downloading a compatible driver for the
device, click the Update Driver button and follow the wizard's prompts
to install the new driver. |
| 32 | A driver service for this
device was not required and has been disabled. (Code 32) | The driver has been
disabled. The start type for this service is set to Disabled in the
registry. If the driver really is required, change the start type in the
BIOS, using the BIOS setup utility as defined in the documentation for
the device. If the device previously worked properly, use System Restore
to return to a working configuration. |
| 33 | Windows cannot determine which resources are required for
this device. (Code 33) | This error
typically indicates a misconfigured legacy device or a hardware failure.
See the documentation for the device for more information. |
| 34 | Windows cannot determine the settings for this device. Consult
the documentation that came with this device, and use the Resource tab
to set the configuration. (Code 34) | This legacy device requires a forced
configuration. Change the hardware settings (using jumpers or a software
utility), and then use Device Manager's Resources tab to set the forced
configuration. |
| 35 | Your computer's
system BIOS does not include enough information to properly configure
and use this device. To use this device, contact your computer
manufacturer to obtain a firmware or BIOS update. (Code 35) | This error is specific to
multiprocessor systems. Check with the system manufacturer for a BIOS
upgrade. |
| 36 | This device is requesting a PCI
interrupt but is configured for an ISA interrupt (or vice versa).
Please use the computer's system setup program to reconfigure the
interrupt for this device. (Code 36) | IRQ translation failed. This error usually
occurs on Advanced Power Management (APM) machines. Check BIOS settings
to see if certain IRQs have been reserved incorrectly. Upgrade to an
ACPI BIOS if possible. |
| 37 | Windows cannot
initialize the device driver for this hardware. (Code 37) | After downloading a
compatible driver for the device, click the Update Driver button and
follow the wizard's prompts to install the new driver. |
| 38 | Windows cannot load the device driver for this hardware
because a previous instance of the device driver is still in memory.
(Code 38) | Restart the computer. |
| 39 | Windows cannot load the device driver for this hardware. The
driver might be corrupted. (Code 39) | The driver is missing or corrupted, or it is in
conflict with another driver. Look for an updated driver or reinstall
the current driver. If the device worked previously, use System Restore
to roll back to a working configuration. |
| 40 | Windows cannot access this hardware because its service
key information in the registry is missing or recorded incorrectly.
(Code 40) | Information
in the registry's service key for the driver is invalid. Reinstall the
driver. |
| 41 | Windows successfully
loaded the device driver for this hardware but cannot find the hardware
device. (Code 41) | Windows
loaded the driver but cannot find the device. This error occurs with
legacy devices because Plug and Play cannot detect them. Use Device
Manager to uninstall the driver and then use the Add Hardware wizard to
reinstall it. |
| 42 | Windows cannot load the
device driver for this hardware because there is a duplicate device
already running in the system. (Code 42) | Restart the computer. |
| 43 | Windows has stopped this device because it has reported
problems. (Code 43) | A
driver has reported a device failure. Uninstall and reinstall the
device. If that doesn't work, contact the device manufacturer. |
| 44 | An
application or service has shut down this hardware device. (Code 44) | The device has been halted
by an application or service. Restart the computer. |
| 47 | Windows
cannot use this hardware device because it has been prepared for "safe
removal," but it has not been removed from the computer. (Code 47) | The device has been
prepared for ejection from a PCMCIA slot, USB port, or docking station.
Unplug the device and plug it in again, or restart the computer. |
| 48 | The software for this device has been blocked from starting
because it is known to have problems with Windows. Contact the hardware
vendor for a new driver. (Code 48) | Contact the hardware vendor for a compatible driver. |
