When Windows finds a problem with a device or its driver, it changes the icon in Device Manager and displays an error code on the General tab of the device’s properties dialog box. Each code is identified by a number and a brief text description. You can troubleshoot these errors in the following ways: This device is not configured correctly (Code 1): After downloading a compatible driver for the device install it. 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. This device cannot start (Code 10): Device failed to start. Click the Update Driver button to install updated drivers if any are available. 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)
