Hi, 
Try removing all PCI cards except the video card and see if  you still get 
the message (hopefully you don't). If not, replace them one by one  until you 
find the one that causes the message. Sometimes you can fix this by  moving it 
to another PCI slot. Another possibility is one of the onboard  
peripherals...you should be able to turn those off in the BIOS settings to see  if that fixes 
 it.

Greetings, 

Trying to solve a problem with a friend's  computer.  She has an old Sony PCV 
- E302DS minitower (circa 1997), 350  Mhz, 256 PC100 RAM,Phoenix BIOS 
ver.6.0.2W.  She has lost the Sony restore  disc so I've been trying to fix her 
computer (or part of the problem by  reinstalling WIN ME Ver 4.90.3000.  The 
persistant message on startup is a  Sony splash screen with the message at the 
bottom that says:
ERROR Resouce conflict - PCI on Motherboard. Bus:00, Device 0D,  Function: 00.

I tried replacing her old RAM with some newer memory I had  on hand, but that 
did nothing.  I made sure that all the PCI cards were  seated well and that 
did nothing.  Tried reinstalling Windows about ten  times and it always froze 
up around 64%.  She's a poor graduate student and  can't really afford to 
invest in another computer right now.  Can anybody  help?

Thanks, 
Allen
