SYMPTOMS
When Windows 95 OEM Service Release 2 (OSR2) is installed on your
computer, some PCI devices may not be configured properly. Device Manager
may display an exclamation point in a yellow circle next to the devices,
with text stating that the driver did not load or the driver is incorrect
for the hardware. The Resources tab may display an IRQ resource without
assigned memory resources.
The same device may be configured correctly in Windows 95 or Windows 95
OEM Service Release 1.
CAUSE
If the PCI device does not request any memory resources in its first Base
Address register (BAR0), the remaining Base Address registers may not be
decoded properly. The requested resources may not be assigned, and the
device may not function.
RESOLUTION
STATUS
This problem no longer occurs in Windows 98. To resolve this problem, install the current version of Windows. For information about the current version of Windows, visit
