Standard OpenHCD USB Host Controller (Code 12)

[akagiredsun1]

I'm suddenly having USB device issues, and upon closer examination, my
OpenHCD USB controller is now giving me a Code 12 (This device cannot find
enough free resources that it can use.)

The only major updates I've had recently was the last Windows Update. I've
tried removing the offender, and all my USB controllers and reinstalling
them, but it comes back with the same error.

I have the following as USB Controllers:
- Standard Enhanced PCI to USB Host Controller
- Standard OpenHCD USB Host Controller (Code 12)
- USB Mass Storage Device
- USB Root Hub

Any suggestions on how I can take care of this?

[JoChLe]

I am having the same issues.

Since downloading recent updates, cannot get kodak camera to connect to
comp.. no matter where I plug in..
checking devices.. Standard OpenHCD USB is giving me the same notification..
-drivers are coming back as up to date
-dual core/ 2gb/ vista home basic
-controllers:

Standard Enhanced PCI to USB Host Controller

USB Root Hub
Standard OpenHCD USB Host Controller (showing problem)
(location-PCI bus 0, device 11, function 0)

-Error:This device cannot find enough free resources that it can use. (Code
12)

If you want to use this device, you will need to disable one of the other
devices on this system.

Click 'Check for solutions' to send data about this device to Microsoft and
to see if there is a solution available.

--I also cannot just restore to a previous point to remove the update.

-it may be worth noting, I udated the last 4-5 updates at once.. 941649 &
941600 showed as "failed to update".. but USB problem had alreadyappeared..
(941600 relates to USB issues)
attempted multiple times to add both through updater.. nope.
finally loaded one at a time through a download from microsoft.. but,
problem persists

Dropping a reply to highlight I'm having the same issue. Again, only
system change/install was a Vista update mid-late last week.

I'm running on a HP Pavillion DV9000z and my device listings are same
as OP. Tried uninstalling the drivers and reinstalling the HP nVidia
motherboard/chipset drivers and the install will find and install the
device and require a reboot. Upon rebooting, we're back to the same
issue.

One thing to note, external Hard Drives still work such as my WD
Passport drive and my Sony Camcorder but I can't get my wired or
wireless USB mice to work.

Just to add to the numbers, I have had the same problem. Spent last half day
trying to track it down abd believe that the following patch was the problem:

Cumulative Update for Media Center for Windows Vista (KB941229)

Sound was disabled as were all my USB ports.

What do you think my chances are of billing Microsoft for the lost half day?

[David Hudson Floyd]

I'm another one. Is MS going to release a patch fix or are we going
to have to hunt down the solution when someone writes it up?

Another victim here... or similar behavior anyway. Here's my story...

In device manager there are 2 USB Controllers listed with an exclamation
point. When I try to re-install the drivers, I get this message:

Windows found driver software for your device but encountered an error while
attempting to install it. "Standard Enhanced PCI to USB Host Controller".
The I/O operation has been aborted because of either a thread exit or an
application request....

The other one is "Standard OpenHCD USB Host Controller", otherwise, same
error message.

The only way I can use the damn computer is to remote desktop in. Keyboard
and mouse (which are USB) aren't recognized. I'm on Vista Ultimate 32bit BTW.

When I boot with the DVD, both mouse and keyboard work. None of my system
restore points work. I get a cycle redundancy check error every time I try
to restore.

I'm not sure what to do now. Seeing other people with the same problem at
the same time makes me wonder if a fresh install will even fix this. Come on
MS, give us a bone here.

[charsi]

hey guys
same problem here ! i was working on my thesis and the next day cant
use the external mouse ! (after the stupid MS vista update)

so having a lot of trouble getting my way around the touchpad thing ,

anyway i came across another website and someone wrote ......

"Netman66:
You may need to manually assign the USB resources from within Device
Manager.

Either it's an IRQ problem or an IO problem.

We have this a lot on certain Dell laptops - because they weren't
designed for Vista or XP, only Windows 2000. Resources become a bit of
an issue at times.

Figure out where you can assign it resources that are available and set
them manually."

i have no clue wats he talking about ... but i tot maybe one of u
might know .... pls share if u get lucky

I've been digging through updates as well and I found this one....

KB941600 - This article describes an update rollup that resolves some
reliability issues in the USB core components in Windows Vista. You will
achieve better reliability in various scenarios by installing this update.

I've removed all of the updates that were installed last week, but I still
can't install the drivers for the USB controllers. Windows just won't let
them install. I still get this error:

[charsi]

team MS is winning and team Idiots who buy MS are losing !

wtf !

do their tech support guys even know about this problem or they have
been ignoring the flags ?

[akagiredsun1]

I hate to say "misery loves company" but at least I can take heart that these
issues are shared by many, thus eliminating a failure at my end. I've
uninstalled all my updates since my failures happened, but to no avail; the
darn thing still isn't getting its resources. :( Devs, please take note!

[TTopJohnson]

Hi all

I get the same problem as most everyone does here. One thing to add: i

Hey, this is happening to me too! My Logitech G15 and G7 won't work with
my PC, even though my Linksys WUSB-54g-v2 and WD MyBook both work fine.

I'm probably going to try a complete reformat and reinstall of Vista,
avoiding KB941229, and see if that restores functionality.

Cheer up mates - despite their bungling at least MS didn't actually fry
our USB ports - it just gave them IRQ conflicts with ... well, what?

I can't free up the 'resources' that it needs because even when I
disable / uninstall other devices in the name IRQ neighborhood it does
nothing to get SOHUHC working.

Anyone else made any progress? I just checked Windows Update and
there's still no real fix from Microsoft.

Me too. I'm also getting the code 12 on the Standard Dual Channel PCI IDE
Controller. Something got screwed in one of the latest updates.

[fdwt994]

Add me to the long list of those who have this issue. Since this error
started, I cannot print or use my digital camera.

Any updates?????

[TwoBitMatt]

Wait, you're getting a Code 12 on your PCI IDE Controller? When did your
error start?

[Elliott]

About the same time as the OpenHCD code 12. I'd say last week sometime.

My fingerprint reader stopped working off one of the ports and that's when I
noticed both problems.

[TwoBitMatt]

Well, aside from the other update Microsoft made which is supposed to
'fix certain USB device issues within Vista' and did nothing, no, no
updates.

I'm considering doing a reformat and reinstall, but I just got UT3 and
would rather be playing that with my own mouse and keyboard rather than
borrowing my housemate's.

[TwoBitMatt]

Has anyone's problem been fixed by MS's update? I'm still using a PS/2
keyboard and mouse, so I'm just as fried as the rest of you, but I was
wondering if anyone did get their USB functional again

[TTopJohnson]

Nothing yet TwoBitMatt. Boy I wish I has a ps/2 port to plug a mouse,
but this is a laptop. Universal Serial But...

What is that usb update you are speaking of? Can you please link that
one?

I went to Device Manager and clicked on Check for Solutions. After I clicked
on Check Online, I received a prompt to send additional information. This
occurs only on the USB driver, not on the PCI driver. I suspect MS is finally
looking at this.

Suggest everyone do the same.

hey guys i found this reply on the following website

http://tinyurl.com/3cvrp3

"Netman66:
Open the properties of the device with the exclamation point on it in

On the Resources tab you can uncheck the box for use automatic settings

Assign it an IRQ and IO that isn't in conflict. Use caution with the
IO - you need to figure out what it wants to use on a machine running a

Sounds like Windows 98 or XP.

My suggestion is that we submit the additional information to MS.

Also, we can list what we have on our systems and see if there is something
in common. We can all post the first page of System Information as a start.

I had the same problem as well after installing the updates. The lsit of
things that broke:

1) OPENHCD resouce conflict
2) IDE controller resounrce conflict
3) It decided that enough changes had occurred, that it deactivated Vista. I
had to call the phone number to re-activate again.

the OPENHCD only seems to affect USB 1.1 devices connected straight to your
PC. All my USB2.0 devices still work fine. Also, the USB 1.1 devices WILL
work if you plugh in via a USB 2.0 hub (my monitor has one built in). By
doing that I can still use my USB mouse & keyboard.

I've been loking all over for help with this, and found nothing on what
Vista thinks the conflict actually is, or how to resolve it.

[TwoBitMatt]

Sorry, this is just a list I compiled forever ago of my PC specs, so
apologies for the dashes.

- Thermaltake 700w Modular SLI-PSU
- Asus P5N32-E SLI Plus 755

Oddly enough, my G7 and G15 are both USB 2.0, but they won't work -
while my USB 2.0 xHDD and Wireless adapter both work. Eh?

Also, no go on the resources tab for me either - seems that Vista, even
'Ultimate' doesn't give the user this kind of nitty gritty access.

I have an Nvidia P5nsli mainboard with xp home and vista premium installed on two different hard drives.
The XP has no problem but the Vista has the error code. I am waiting for a reply from Microsoft Techs and Nvidia Techs to answer. I am also checking Anandtech Forums to see if anybody has come up with this same issue. My Usb ram drives work but my iomega clik drive does not. I have three versions of Vista on two computers which all have the code 12. But not on the XP Versions. Might want to add that it may only be a Nvidia mainboard problem.

Hello all,
New to the site and this forum but seem to be having a very similar
problem.

I'm getting a code 12, need resources error in Vista Business (see
specs below) however my problem is with my NICs. I have a dual boot
system as well, with XP Pro on the first disk and both NICs work fine
but not with Vista. Like most everyone here I started having this
problem after a recent update, however I've tried to uninstall all
updates that took place in the last two months with no success.

I've checked out anything I can on Microsoft's websites and not found
so much as a blurb about this problem (big surprise) and judging from
everyone here it seems to be a bug in an update of some sort. I've had
this install running for about 8 months with no problems up until a
couple weeks ago.

If anyone would have any suggestions I'm open to anything short of a
reinstall but that's the last resort.

Looks like the missing link is NVidia Chipset mainboards..

I bit the bullet and went the reinstall route, adding all windows
updates upto the begining of November (windows update won't connect
at the moment so can't list the outstanding ones, I think there's 3 or
4, including the Media Center update). Touch wood, we're so far all up
and running ok.

Does anyone have any contact details for someone at MS we can throw
this problem at?

[TwoBitMatt]

I think it might be the nForce 650i chipset - does anyone have a 680i
chipset? I'm too cramped for time at the moment to look through all the
specs and compare at the moment, but it may be worth noting.

Beyond that, this seems to definitely be a Vista only problem, and it's
also only with people who made that single update.... how come Microsoft
hasn't gotten on the ball about this yet?

I can't manage the resources manually on this, and while I'm glad to
hear that MS hasn't bricked my USB host controller, doing a reformat is
definitely a last resort right now - backing up all my files became
impossible thanks to a clumsy girlfriend destroying my external hard
drive this week (not a good tech week).

By the way, you guys are awesome.

I have a Nvidia 590SLI chipset, but it does seem to be Nvidia drivers. I've
also have a Nvidia graphics geForce 7 graphics card. The problem does appear
to be associated with Nvidia somewhere, most likely the motherboard drivers.

Let's try to narrow it, has everyone installed the Mobile Device Center
update??

Anyone who has recently purchase Vista can submit the problem by email to MS
Tech Support. Be sure to copy the url for these post and submit it to tech
support.

BTW: To TTopJohnson - Click on Accessories, Click on System Tools, Click on

BTW: Nvidia has updates for both their motherboard & graphic boards. Neither
of which solves this problem. One glitch you might find, the graphic board
update on the Nividia website says its 175 but when you downloand and install
it, its 169. Found that the true 175 was on the graphics manufacturer website.

Vista users: Don’t install “ATI PCI Express (3GIO) Filter Driver”
November 15th, 2007
Enjoy using your computer? Then don’t install the optional Vista update “ATI
PCI Express (3GIO) Filter Driver” unless you are certain you own that
particular piece of ATI hardware.
I foolishly installed this bomb of an update, and upon restarting my
computer I found that my network card, sound card, and video card had all
failed.
The fix for this problem is easy. Go to Device Manager, open the “System
devices” node, then right click and Uninstall the “3GIO Filter Driver”. Make
sure you click the “Delete the driver from your system” checkbox. Then it’s
just a matter of enjoying the fantastic fireworks of failing drivers. After a
few restarts the correct drivers should be back in use.
I found no useful information online, so here’s the info that Windows Update
provides
Information found at http://wyday.com/blog/2007/dont-install-ati-pic-e-3gio/

I also just discovered this ....uninstalled it and usb is back!... You must
first disable the usb drivers so you can uninstall this......

I'm still having problems getting the fix to work - it keeps complaining
about not being able to get a request back from the device's descendants
- which I'm not sure what the hell they could be, consider the device is
the result of a poorly filtered Windows update. Can anyone cook up a
step by step for this?

[TTopJohnson]

Same here, it works!

Mouse and cellphone memory are now accessible. I just uninstalled the
ATI driver in question, with no need to disable USB devices.

Thanks for bringing this up FC!

Awesome, I disabled my USB devices and then uninstalled the ATI driver,
and now everything's up and running again.

Thanks so much for the tip!

You must first disable all the other USB device drivers... then uninstall the
ati driver...

By Jove, you guys are brilliant! Thank you so much for finding this out!

I did have some issues w/ the removal of the 3GIO driver coming back. So I
found that when I went into the driver details and hit "Roll Back Driver" it
took care of it too.

If MS is watching this, they should make a very big statement on this update
(triple bold or something) to NOT install it unless you have an ATI system.

Again, thanks so much! Everything works beautifully now!

Yea Baby or as we say here in Texas, Yahoooo

That also solved the code 12 problem with the Standard Dual Channel PCI IDE
Controller.

I've been attempting to resolve this though HP support. They
recommended I reinstall my system from scratch. Lame answer: HP
Support is getting worse and worse.

Has anyone had any other luck?

Please read through the entire thread. Did you attempt this post (see bottom)?

Note: Disable all the offending USB drivers before starting this uninstall.

Well, here is my story in a nutshell.
I followed all the thread and uninstalled ATI PCI Express Filter
(3GIO) I did not understand why that was on my system and neither did
Microsoft!, I uninstalled the USB Microsoft update, and tried the USB
Hotfix suggested on the Microsoft website..
Nothing fixed the problem.
I got on the horn to Microsoft and as a consequence I:
Upgraded in-place - no change (though my system runs faster)
Installed the latest chip set for my 680i motherboard - no change.
Microsoft has escalated this up to the third level.
I will let you know when someone in Microsoft fixes it.
As far as I can see, it is related to the Nvidia motherboards.
Microsoft says they have been getting a lot of calls about this
problem.
All of you should also call and the call is free because it is related
to Windows Update.
The more information they have about this, the better.
believe it or not, the tech support people have not been reading this
URL!

[AlKolkin]

I placed a call to Microsoft and after the third escalation, we still
could not find the cause. They were again escalating this to a 4th
tier specialist. In the meantime, the Vista SP! RC1 came out that I
installed. The new Standard OpenHCD USB driver version is
6.0.6001.17052. For those who are having trouble with this, just wait
to get the upgrade or if you are a Technet subscriber, it is available
for download. Clearly, there are problems and issues with the older
version, which caused it to have conflicts for resources.

I have not fully tested the RC1 update fully yet, but so far there are
many things working better and faster, despite what some of the
previous blogs have said about no improved performance.

Good luck to you all.

OMG.. thank you!!! This totally worked.

OpenHCD was part of two USB-Core updates to vista some months ago via
Windows Update, either removing them both or re-installing your OEM
supplied USB drivers should correct the problems.

I freaking love you man, this fixed my problem totally!!!!!
I had the same LAME support from HP recently , and was told to
recover the system to a date before the problem.

THANK GOD I didn't take thier advice on that one!!!

I had almost given up on this recent issue and said the heck with
it,
HATS OFF, YOU RULE!!

TOTALLY FIXED THE PROBLEM!!
