(a) Show us the Solve that failed.

or

(b) Under "Possible Issues", Help gives a decent example:

Solution found for an underdetermined system is not unique:

LinearSolve[{{1, 2, 3}, {4, 5, 6}}, {6, 15}]

{0, 3, 0}

All solutions found by Solve:

{x, y, z} /.
  First[Solve[Thread[{{1, 2, 3}, {4, 5, 6}}.{x, y, z} == {6, 15}], {x, y}]]

{z, 3 - 2 z, z}
