[dba-Tech] Graphics controller problem

Dear Lists:
 
I moved a dual monitor graphics card - ATI Radeon XPRESS 200 Series - from
my old XP machine to another machine running W7 Ultimate 32 bit where is
will not operate correctly.
 
Device manager says Code 12
This device cannot find enough free resources that it can use. If you want
to use this device, you will need to disable one of the other devices on
this system. (Code 12)
 
Recommended resolution

Two devices have been assigned the same I/O ports, the same interrupt, or
the same Direct Memory Access channel (either by the BIOS, the operating
system, or a combination of the two). This error message can also appear if
the BIOS did not allocate enough resources to the device (for example, if a
universal serial bus (USB) controller is not an interrupt from the BIOS
because of a corrupted Multiprocessor System (MPS) table). 

You can use Device Manager to determine where the conflict is and disable
the conflicting device. On the General Properties tab of the device, click
Troubleshoot to start the Troubleshooting Wizard. 
 
 
Location is PCI bus 1, device 5, function 0. I can't find another device in
conflict with this one.  And there's no Troubleshoot command button on the
General Properties tab.
 
Any ideas on where to start to resolve this problem?
 
Both monitors are plugged into the card - only one is operating.
 
TIA
 
Rocky
