If you are asked for the driver and you do not have it, you can try to download the latest driver from the hardware vendor's website.[/td] [/tr] [tr][td]Code 3[/td] [td]The driver for this device might be corrupted, or your system may be running low on memory or other resources. (Code 3)[/td] [/tr] [tr][td][/td] [td]Cause The device driver may be corrupted, or you are running out of memory; the system is running low on system memory and may need to free up or add more memory. Recommended Resolutions Close some open applications If the computer has insufficient memory to run the device, you can close some applications to make memory available. You can also check memory and system resources, and the virtual memory settings.

• To check memory and system resources, open Task Manager. To do this, press CTRL+ALT+DELETE, and then click Task Manager.
• To check virtual memory settings, open the System Properties dialog box, click the Advanced tab, and then click Settings in the Performance area.

Uninstall and reinstall the driver The device driver may have become corrupted. Uninstall the driver from Device Manager and scan for new hardware to install the driver again.

• In the device's Properties dialog box, click the Driver tab, and then click Uninstall. Follow the instructions.
• Restart your computer.
• Open Device Manager, click Action, and then click Scan for hardware changes. Follow the instructions.

Note You may be prompted to provide the path of the driver. Windows may have the driver built-in, or may still have the driver files installed from the last time that you set up the device. However, sometimes, it will open the New Hardware Wizard which may ask for the driver. If you are asked for the driver and you do not have it, you can try to download the latest driver from the hardware vendor's website.
