Hello, group.
I have a PC with 2 PCI cards installed. WinXP SP2.
(custom network boards, custom written drivers)
Everything works awhile.
I do not know what precisely "for a while" is. What I know is that
nothing is done with PC other than several power on-offs (production
test).
Occasionally device manager begin to show misconfiguration:
isufficient resources for COM1/COM2 and for secondary IDE,
infrared port arising from somewhere (initially there were none shown)
This all do not prevent system operation, nor alter PCI boards
configiration
(memory addresses, ports, interrupts).
I mean that after next power on the system works, but some not actually
used devices
are misconfigured (DM shows yellow exclamation marks).
If I then remove PCI drivers and wipe out any files/registry entries for
my PCI devices
the problem persists (still "insufficient resources" for COM-ports etc).
However if I remove any PCI board or both (driver installed), device
manager show normal
configuration, no yellow exclamation marks, and fanthom IRDA port
disappear.
So, could somebody please suggest something, how could be it all and
what to do?
Probably there is a way to control device enumeration sequence in WinXP
so that I could experimentally find what device grabbed that resources
which are "insufficient".
