I just recently installed Vista Ultimate on my pc. So I got a new graphics card so I could run windows aero and the dreamscene and all that new stuff, and for gaming. Well i got a Nvidia Geforece fx 5500 and when I install it in the computer and the drivers it gives me a code 12, not enough resources. I tried disabling other devices, even taking some out. I still get the same error code. I tried it in a friends computer and it works just fine and my computer is suppose to be better. I have the system requirements, so is there anyone who can help. Below are my computer specs. Thank YOUMainboard :*Dell Computer Corp.

Well on the other computer I put the card in it only had a half gb and it ran. This one has 1 gb. And bad thing is, on dell it said this computer is only upgradeable to 1 gb. And I went to dell and checked for drivers, nothing.

Why, why, WHY would you buy a FX5500???? You can get a 8400GS for like, 30$, and I have a hard time believing you paid less than that for a new videocard. http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16814150246
Are you serious? How much better is that? I paid close to $100 for this one.
Oh, and thats a pci-express, I only have pci and agp.
