Re: Boots up in safe mode-graphics card message.

I had to do a system restore because when I boot up it stays in safe
mode. I have access to e mail and the net but I have the teal green
background and cannot get out of safe mode.
I have found a Unichrome graphics device that has an exclamation mark
on it. The error indicates that the device" cannot find enough free
resources that it can use. (Code 12). If you want to use the device you
will have to disable one of the other devices on this system."

Hmm. Why can't it find enough resources and exactly which other devices
do I have to disable?

Any suggestions would be appreciated.

While in Device Manager > your graphic Devices properties, click on the Resources tab.
Click on the top resource type in the Resource Types pane and look in the Conflicting Device List pane below it.
Either click on the resource type or use the down arrow key to check the next one(s).

Whatever the device is conflicting with will be shown with it's name in the resource conflict window.
