I have a Sonnet Tempo ESATA ExpressCard/34 card. It works perfectly in OS X and when I was dual booting to Windows XP it worked there as well.

Once I upgraded to Vista and subsequently Win7, it stopped working properly. It gives a Code 12 (Not enough resources error). No matter how many devices I stop, it does not have enough resources to function.

Now, I'm aware that this is a known problem with Vista/7 and the Express Card slot. However, I'm hoping that someone on this forum has found a solution to the problem.

FYI, Here are my specs:

System Manufacturer/Model Number Apple Macbook Pro 17" (April 2009)
OS Windows 7 Ultimate x64 & OS X 10.5.11
CPU Intel Core 2 Duo 2.93Ghz T9800
Motherboard Apple Macbook Pro (nVIDIA MCP79)
Memory 4GB DDR3 1066Mhz
Graphics Card NVIDIA GeForce 9600M GT 512MB
Sound Card SB X-Fi Surround 5.1
Monitor(s) Displays Apple Anti-Glare 17" & Acer x223wbd
Screen Resolution 1440 x 900 (Max = 1680x1050-1920x1200)
Keyboard Logitech G-15 (v2)
Mouse Logitech G-9
Hard Drives 320GB Internal - 360GB External - 750GB External - 1TB External
Other Info Logitech X-540 Speakers Sennheiser PC-151 Headset

The card is a Sonnet Tempo ESATA Expresscard/34 Rev. A. I've downloaded the correct drivers and installed them multiple times. Is it possible that the card will work if I find a way to install the drivers in Windows XP compatibility mode? If not, is there a fix out there anywhere?
