Welcome to the forum!
The problem here is most likely that there is no ethernet card installed, although there is a port in the back, since that's the way machine had left the factory:

But don't worry, you can get a combo modem/LAN card for a few bucks nowadays.

HP xw8600 nvidia gtx 650 graphics card "cannot start device code 10"

I have an HP xw 8600 with two Xeon 5450 processors and 4GB RAM, it's still running XP sp3 with /3GB enabled. Bios 01.46
The original ATI Firegl graphics card just died and I have installed an nvidia geforce GTX650. The latest nvidia driver is installed version 344.11. But the graphics card isn't running correctly, it provides very slow low resolution graphics and device manager says "cannot start device code 10".
I tested the card in a Dell t1700 and it worked correctly.
NB. while waiting for the GTX650 I installed an old nvidia fx550, the card worked correctly running dual monitors. BUT after installing the GTX650 and getting the error, if I switch back to the fx 550 it also now gives the code 10. Tried going back to a restore point before the GTX650 was installed and reinstalling the fx550, but it stall has the same code 10 error.

New Pavillion DV6 with Windows 7. Synaptics TouchPad cannot start - error code 10.

I've had the laptop for about three weeks. Installed an HP 3005pr USD 3.0 Port Replicator a few days ago and the Synaptics TouchPad stopped working (perhaps not related?). Keyboard works fine. I've used a Microsoft USB keyboard and mouse for several weeks with no problem. Spent an hour and 20 minutes with HP tech support while the BIOS was refreshed and the TP driver updated (although the download didn't install correctly).
I am now getting a message: "device cannot start (code 10).
Any suggestions?

Hi,
First, can you provide the specific model of dv6 you have, that can impact what steps are suggested.
Which Touchpad driver did you attempt to install with HP Tech Support? You mentioned that the driver didn't install correctly, did it generate an error message? If so what was the error?
The first thing I would do in your situation would be to use MS System Restore to go back to a restore point when the Touchpad was working, if such a restore point exists. Take a look at the document below, and look for the section called "Restoring Windows to a previous point" and follow those steps, choosing a restore point when you are sure that the touchpad was working.
Using Microsoft System Restore (Windows 7)
Let us know what happens.

Sound card problem - This device cannot start. (Code

hi all,
here's my situation...
i had a dell dimension 4400 that came with a sound blaster li've! value(wdm) sound card. i recently got a new motherboard/case etc. i transferred the sound card to my new system and i get a "This device cannot start. (Code 0)" error when i check device manager. for some reason, the game port on the sound card is working fine, but the audio processor part has the error. windows recognizes the card, but it won't use it. the card is a little over 3 years old.
now, i've read the forums, tried a clean install, registry tweaks, changed bios settings, even did a hd format. i also tried different pci slots. i have sp2 and all my other drivers are updated.
the new motherboard i have is a gigabyte 8ipe000g. i already contacted gigabyte, did not get much help. it has onboard ac97 audio. i disabled the onboard audio, but it did not seem to change anything. i have also tried windows drivers, the dell drivers from the cd, and the drivers from the creative website. none of them changed anything. i am now having trouble removing the drivers from add/remove programs. i keep removing them, but they still remain, even after using the wdm driver remover from the cd (a file named ctapxx.exe, or something similar). it's almost like windows is not actually installing the drivers when i install them. i'm wondering if the code 0 error is specifically driver related.
the first time i disabled the onboard audio and updated the drivers a weird thing happened. every time i started the computer up it would crash when it got to the desktop. it no longer does this for some reason, everything now starts up, but i have no audio. the sound card is the only device giving me problems on my system.
is there anything else i need plugged into the sound card? all i have is the sound card plugged into the pci slot, and an audio cord going from the card to my dvd dri've. is there anything that is supposed to go from the card directly to the motherboard? as far as i can tell, i have everything hooked up correctly. i don't understand why the game port works, but not the audio processor.
so, i have basically tried everything. seems like quite a few people get code 0 errors with some sort of hardware they have, but it usually seems like there is no definite solution.
does anyone have a similar problem, or a solution? hopefully i don't have to get a new sound card. i would just stick with my onboard audio, but i hear it can cause problems with games.

Since you have a new board it maybe a bios setting.
Is there IRQ conflict from the soundcard.
Maybe remove the card and unistall the software, use a tool "driver cleaner pro" to remove all creative files.
Check your mainboard manual on what pci slot that dont share, i hear slot 3 is the one to use, i use slot 5.
Fit the card and reinstall.
Best of luck.

Game Port Error: This device cannot start. (Code

I recently did a PC rebuild and have a fresh install of XP SP2. When trying to play with a gamepad that worked just fine before the reinstall of XP, it shows the game port as not working.
Sure enough, Device Manager shows a problem with the game port.
I uninstalled the game port and reinstalled it to no avail.
This is the error the properties of the game port has listed:
This device cannot start. (Code 0)
Anyone have any idea how to fix this - I saw several posts in this forum from some time ago with no answers.
Thanks in advance!

What kind of reinmstall did you perform? If you used the recovery media, then this will be pretty simple. Boot to the recovewry media again and this time select the Reinstall drivers and applications option. Find the audio driver on the list of available drivers, put a tick in the box to its left and then click on the install button in the lower right hand corner of the window. The driver will be installed. Your list will be different than the following one, but this is only an example.

Wifi card cannot start (Code 10) with 4 port USB2.0 hub inserted

Hello,
I could use some help with the following:
I have an IBM Thinkpad 390X 2626 L0A with 512MB and W2K SP4, for internet/networking I use an Wifi card with an Atheros AR2413A chipset. This setup works great but recently I bought a 4 port USB2.0 hub cardbus with a VIA VT612 chip.
When I insert the USB hub in the second (top) slot and conect a memory stick to it the internet/networking connection falls away. Properties in devicemanager shows: Cannot start device, Code 10.
When I restart with both cards inserted I get the same message.
When I use both cards in a Toshiba Tecra 8000 256MB and W2K SP4 they both work fine. So it looks like the cards are working fine.
I installed all the latest drivers and BIOS for the Thinkpad and for the cards.
My questions are:
Is there anyone with the same problem.
Is there a kown solution. Maybe some changes in the registry.
Could a program like CardWizard help.
Any other advice is also welcome.
Thanks,
Antoine

Glad to be joining ship.
I also thought about an IRQ conflict. But W2K SP4 should be able to handle that and actually doesn't allow you to manually change IRQ settings. Device manager shows both cards on/with IRQ 7. Maybe there is something I can do with the PCI manager in Configuration Manager but I wouldn't know what. It just reads Device 1,3,4 on IRQ 11 en Device 2 on IRQ 5.
I think it is most likely a power issue, since the Wifi-card uses (relatively) a lot of power. Using Configuration Manager I already shut down all not used ports (serial, parallel, joystick, IR and modem) and I also tried disabling the PCI power management in BIOS.
I'm looking for a tweak (registry) to boost the power to the pcmcia slots or just the slot containing the wifi-card, or to assign a different IRQ to each slot/device. Also I would like to try the Card Wizard program that was available for the NT versions.

I've tried enabling/disabling UAC.
I've run the drivers as an admin.
I've formatted a few times just to make sure no driver conflicts.
Also I've tested the card on another PC running XP sp3 works fine.
PCI slot works fine as well tested with an ethernet card.
You've tried about everything.
Did you try to disable any non essential onboard devices (HD Audio, LAN, additional SATA/IDE controller etc)?
What about installing XP on a spare dri've?

This device cannot start. (Code 10) Intel (R) 82566MM

Ok guys I hope someone can help me with this annoying issue. Just today I clicked "undock Computer" and had to reboot becaues of some funky error message. When the machine came back on the LAN connection would no longer connect. Now under the status it just has the following:
This device cannot start. (Code 10)
Click Troubleshoot to start the troubleshooter for this device.
Any ideas?
Message Edited by Riekal on 12-22-2008 09:58 PM

Code 10 is a default error code that Device Manager generates when the operating system cannot determine which specific error code to return after an issue occurs.
Problem
The problem can range from hardware failure to software config.
Here is the MS article with further info on code 10 here.
Solution
Updating the Driver could solve the issue is some cases.
Visit Lenovo.com to download and install Ethernet latest driver.
Troubleshooting
If you have the factory install(if you haven't installed your own windows on unit), you should be able to access the recovery partition by pressing the blue ThinkVantage Button in the top left hand corner of the keyboard when the computer show the Thinkpad screen(when computer is first coming on) -> further info on accessing partition here.
Once in the recovery partition you can click "open browser" to attempt to connect to the internet there. The recovery partition has a completely different set of settings and drivers to use for the Ethernet device. If you can access the internet here than the problem is definitely with the software.
There is a "diagnose hardware" option on the left as well that allows you to run PCdoc to test hardware as well.

"This device cannot start. (Code 10)" 6th gen nano ?

Hello!
I recently purchased a used ipod nano 6th gen. It was working great by itself but it won't connect to my laptop. Here's the short story:
Ipod worked fine out of the box. Is not recognized by Windows7. Installed and reinstalled the driver, no effect. iPod does not charge from the laptop of from the power outlet. I have itunes version 11.2.2.3 but the ipod has not been able to connect or be recognized by itunes yet.
Here's the Long story w/ the details:
1. Before I connected it to anything with the cable, I was able to use all of the features and played the radio it worked fine.
2. It began to give the low battery warning.
3. I plugged it into my laptop with the usb cable for the first time.
4. Windows (7) gave the error window pop-up: "USB Device not Recognized."
5. If I click on that error pop-up window the next window says "Windows has stopped this device because it has reported problems. (Code 43)"
6. If I open Device Manager, it shows one of the USB ports name is "Unknown Device". If I leave the nano plugged into the USB, the device manger window appears to update every 10s or so and alternates between displaying the port name "Unknown Device"and not displaying the port named "Unknown Device".
7. If I click on device properties of the "Unknown Device" USB port from the Device manager screen, I see that the error also alternates between "Windows has stopped this device because it has reported problems. (Code 43)" and "Currently, this hardware device is not connected to the computer. (Code 45)"
8. When attached to the USB port the nano screen alternates between 3 displays, 1 - "low battery", 2 - the apple logo, 3 - the home menu, which is operational. The battery meter symbol shows 0 power and does not indicate charging.
9. If I unplug the nano it does not turn on with the sleep/wake button, I think due to depleting the battery.
10. If I plug the nano into the wall charger, the screen alternates between the home menu which is operational and the apple logo. The battery symbol shows 0 power and does not indicate charging.
11. I followed some troubleshooting steps, on the "Device Properties" window I see the following information:
Driver Provider: Microsoft; Driver Date: 6/21/2006; Driver Version: 6.1.7601.18328;
12. If I select "Driver Details" button, a window appears that says"No Driver files are required or have been loaded for this device"
13. I found trouble shooting steps on the apple website to install the driver, which I followed. I navigated to the folder with the driver as recommended from the apple website and selected it. C:\Program Files\Common Files\Apple\Mobile Device Support\Drivers "usbaapl", then selected "Apple iPod USB Driver" from the list to install.
14. I get the error window titled "Update Driver Warning" which explains installing the driver is not recommended as Windows cannot verify it is compatible with my hardware, but I proceed with "yes".
15. Next window titled "Update Driver Software - Apple Modbile Device USB Driver" shows the error "Windows encountered a problem installing the driver software for your device; Windows found driver software for your device but encountered an error while attempting to install it; Apple iPod USB Driver; This device cannot start. (Code 10)" and it suggests to download a new driver.
16. Next, I uninstalled the driver and followed all of those steps and it indicated success, also chose delete driver software option.
17. If I plug in the nano at this point I get the indication windows is trying to install driver software, and then the same error occurs as when I first plugged it in "USB Device not Recognized." and I can go through all of the steps again.
18. The Driver details button gives the following info:
Provider: Apple, Inc.; File Version: 1,64,0,0; file names usbaapl.sys & usbaaplrc.dll; driver version 6.0.9999.65.
19. Now the device manager window alternates between showing and not showing the USB port named "Apple Mobile Device USB Driver".
20. If I look under Devices and Printers, it shows a generic icon with the title "Apple Mobile Device USB Driver" with a yellow exclamation mark and the status shows "Needs troubleshooting"!
Can anyone help me I will give you any detail and info you want!
thanks!

IPad2 on Windows 7 : MTP USB Device = This device cannot start. (Code 10)

Hi Guys,
I want to access to the Internal Storage of my iPad 2 on Windows 7.
But I have an error with the MTP USB Device => This device cannot start. (Code 10)
So I cannot see my iPad in Windows Explorer.
I tried many actions from Forums :
update the driver to the "Apple Mobile Device USB Driver" located in "C:\Program Files\Common Files\Apple\Mobile Device Support\Drivers"
delete the upper and lower filters in REGEDIT : {36FC9E60-C465-11CF-8056-444553540000}.
stop and restart the service "Apple Mobile Device"
But as soon as I connect again the iPad there is the same error message after Installing device driver software => "Device driver software was not successfully installed" : MTP USB Device : Fail
Is there someone who get the solution ?
Thank you for you help
Stephane

I have a similar problem, only mine is Code 31 for the MTP USB Driver. The Apple driver loads fine, and I'm able to sync with iTunes, but I can't connect to the device as a drive and copy the photos off of it.
I've tried nearly everything at this point that has been suggested in other threads, and nothing has seemed to work.

Bootcamp bluetooth driver issue ("This device cannot start. (Code 10)")

Hi everyone,
I have a problem (re)pairing my Apple mighty mouse with Windows 7 under Bootcamp.
Initially I had my mouse working through updating the driver to the one from Apple as is described on various forums.
After rebooting my laptop the mouse didn’t connect anymore. So I tried to repeat updating the driver to the apple one. But this time it didn’t work.
I then updated the Bootcamp drivers from the OSX installation disc.
Then, when I checked the hardware, it showed:
Apple Built-in Bluetooth
Microsoft Bluetooth Enumerator
Under these setting my computer still doesn’t detect my mouse under windows.
So I checked to see if I could update my drivers again. This time there were four instead of two:
Apple Broadcom Built-in Bluetooth version 3.1.0.1 [23-11-2009]
Apple Broadcom Built-in Bluetooth version 4.0.0.1 [27-4-2011]
Apple Built-in Bluetooth
Apple Built-in BluetoothDFU
First there were only the first two. Of these two, the first one worked for the first time I paired my mouse.
When I change the driver to any of the three other than the Apple Built-in Bluetooth, it says:
“Windows encountered a problem installing the driver software for your device” with this error:
“This device cannot start. (Code 10)"
After trying this, the initially set driver (Apple Built-in Bluetooth) gives the same error. Resulting in having to reinstall all the drivers all over again.
Anyone encountered the same problem or at least the error of “This device cannot start. (Code 10)"?
Thanks.

WinUsb "Device cannot start. (Code 10)"

Heya,
Well, usually i end up solving my bugs alone after a few hours working on it but it seems i cant get away with this one.
Im trying to install winusb as a driver for an USB device i made, but right after the installation i get a message saying "This device cannot start. (Code 10)". When i check the device properties though (through device manager), WinUsb.sys is defined
as the device driver.
Beside, when i check the device with USB Device Viewer, i get this :

Hello Doron,
thanks for your answer.
did you change the hardware id in the inf to match your device?
d -- This posting is provided "AS IS" with no warranties, and confers no rights.
Yes i did, its a temporary ID, just for testing.
also, how did you install the inf? If with devcon, make sure to use the update option, not install
d -- This posting is provided "AS IS" with no warranties, and confers no rights.
Yea, I installed it via the update option.
Finally found out what was wrong. The bug was in the firmware program. I moved out to an other library, it works now !

This device cannot start. (Code 10) Status Device Power Failure for Intel (R) Audio Display

Hi I just bought HP Envy M7 Sleekbook last week and upgraded from 8.0 to 8.1 for Windows 8.
Now I have no sound and this is the error message I get:
This device cannot start. (Code 10) Status Device Power Failure (for Intel (R) Audio Display)
under Sound, Vieo and Game Controllers in the Device Manager.
Anyone else having this issue after upgrading?
Getting a new lappy is stressful enough but to alreay have issues is ridiculous
If the upgrade is not the issue could something have happened in transit? (I have an issue with the way Best Buy packed it for shipment and wonder if it could have been compromised)
Any help is appreciated. Or should Ibe taing this back to best buy and have them address it?
Thanks
Pam

Ahmed, if your HP Envy has an Intel processor chances are it will be necessary to download new drivers for both sound and chipset due to compatibility issues with Windows 8.1. After 4-1/2 hours on the phone with various technical agents and a lot of frustration I finally got one who had the knowledge and training to resolve my issue. I believe he downloaded the new drivers from the HP support site. Good luck!!

Satellite P200-1FC: CD/DVD drive will not start - error Code 10

My Satellite P200-1FC was purchased in January 2008 and preloaded with Vista Home Premium. The DVD/CD Drive is listed in device manager as "TSST corp CDDVDW TS-L632H ATA Device".
At first the drive worked perfectly, but has recently refused to start. Device manager now shows it with a yellow exclamation mark and it's status is given as "This device cannot start. (Code 10)".
Clicking check for solutions produces "could not load driver software" but no solution.
Searching similar questions in user forums suggests a use of a Microsoft Help & Support page headed "The CD drive or the DVD drive does not work as expected on a computer that you upgraded to Windows Vista".
However this involves modifying the registry! As a relative novice I am reluctant to do this unless I can find no easier way.
Must I bite the bullet and and enter this minefield, or is there a better way?

>At first the drive worked perfectly, but has recently refused to start. Device manager now shows it with a yellow exclamation mark and it's status is given as "This device cannot start. (Code 10)".
This error is definitely caused by a wrong registry entry.
I had such error several times ago and I have solved it removing the lower and upper filters from these registry key:
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Contro l\Class\{4D36E965-E325-11CE-BFC1-08002BE10318}
Here are some steps how it worked on my Windows system;
- I removed the CD/DVD drive from the device manager
- Then edited the registry as described above
- Rebooted the notebook
Im sure it will help you too.
Bye
