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.

martinc-
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.
esource 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.

Thanks a bunch for the links. I had already tried some of them
several
times. I have just spent about 2 hours trying the others. No luck.-
Since you can get to Safe Mode Device Manager, remove any/all
devices listed in
Display (Not Monitor), close out and reboot. Windows will
redetect/reinstall the
graphic drivers for your device or the Standard VGA drivers. If it
installs the
standard vga drivers you will need the disk for the drivers or download
the latest
updated drivers from the manufacturers support site to reinstall them.
Read the
file(s) on the site or the ones included with the download and follow
them per the
manufacturers suggested installation instruction.

Thanks again. Still no luck.
I have contacted the manufacturer and I am now trying to download a new
graphics card. I can get online and do things normally......but with the
green background and poor graphics.
No matter how many times I disable the card in the Device Manager it
always loads again on the re-boot with the exclamation mark warning.
I'll post as soon as I see what happens.

I believe you mean you're downloading newer device/drivers, not a new graphics card. If only that was possible!
Just to clarify that you are in Safe Mode, you're screen does have a graphic in each corner with the words Safe Mode, correct?
I asked that you remove any/all of the devices in Device Manager > Display, not to disable any. Did you actually remove then and you simply misstated that you disabled all that were present?
Did you look to see what resource(s) the device was in conflict with as I suggested earlier? Even if you install newer updated drivers that won't change the fact of the conflict. Please take a look at the Graphics device > devices Properties > Resource tab as mentioned and post back which device resource is in conflict with which other device resource.
Continue downloading the newer drivers so they can be used to update.
