Hi,

 

Sorry about that, it seems to be a video card problem and i'll probably have to return it. The video card seems to randomly shut down at boot... And it shut down for the first time afer installing Ghost & rebooting and started working again right after disinstalling ghost. Basically, after using computers for 18 years and being used to impossible bugs caused by windows (i have vista 32bits btw), I thought it was weird but couldnt care as long as my computer worked ;)

 

So anyway, im troubleshooting to see if its either the card itself or my motherboard that is not working correctly.

 

Thanks for quick reply!!

 

 

Hi,

 

I'm running a Dell XPS 720 with dual video card (not SLI. i'm working with 4 monitors) and when I installed Norton Ghost, when rebooting I lost 1 video card (so my 2 main monitors). When i went to control panel, it told me "This device cannot find enough free resources that it can use." I've uninstalled Ghost and now everything works...

 

What could cause that?

 

Thanks a bunch

 

 

Dell XPS 720, used for work

4xhdd, 2 RAID 0  and 2 ordinary

2x8800 GT 512mb Nvidia video cards

4 monitors : 2x20", 1x24" and 1x17"

some 10 usb things connected

no other pci slots used

Wow, quite a system. Nearly as big as mine, lol.

Anyway, you did not say what operating system you are using or the release (e..g. SP1). This could be relevant.

Is this a new Norton Ghost are what version of Ghost , e.g. 14,12. DId you reboot after install and presumably before you did a check for updates? Were u able to use the remaining 2 monitors? Was the position any different in safe mode.

 

When you want to control panel, did you go to view resources by type and connection, and see if there is any conflct or yellow ! marks?

 

Look out at the top right for messages, I will send you a private message too.

 

P.S.

 

I have looked closely at Ghost and cannot see what could be causing this. I did think Ghost was quite deep in its integration with operating system and hardware, but looking at it now, I dont find this.

 

One idea and it makes no sense, but could you check your version of net framework installed. If you need help to do this let me know.

If its version 1 consider updating to 3.5. Again if you need direction just let me know.
