SYMPTOMS
When you try to install and configure a PCI-PCI bridge on a computer that runs Windows 2000, there is not enough I/O space to support the PCI card.
CAUSE
This behavior can occur because in Windows 2000, the total I/O space for PCI cards is limited to 32 kilobytes (KB). Each PCI-PCI bridge must be assigned at least 4 KB of I/O space. If you have 12 PCI slots in the computer, you need 48 KB of I/O space, which is more than the current limit.
RESOLUTION
To resolve this problem, obtain the latest service pack for Windows 2000. For additional information, click the following article number to view the article in the Microsoft Knowledge Base:
