Resolving Hardware
Conflicts

Hardware conflicts may occur when two or more peripheral devices are set to use

the same I/O address, IRQ line or DMA channel.
To resolve conflicts in Windows 95, Windows 98/98SE, Windows 2000, Windows Me

or Windows XP, change the resource settings of your modem or the conflicting

peripheral device using Device Manager.

Resolving Conflicts
in Windows 95/98/
98SE/ME

To run Device Manager:

1. Click Start -> Settings -> Control Panel.
2. Click the System icon. The System Properties dialog box appears.
3. Click the Device Manager tab.
4. Double-click Modem.
5. Select your modem and click the Properties button. The Properties dialog box

of the modem appears.

6. Click the Resources tab.
7. Click the Use Automatic Settings check box to select it. If this check box is

already selected, you need to go to the Properties dialog box of the conflicting

peripheral device and select the same check box there.

8. Restart your system to allow Windows 95/98/98SE to reassign resources to your

modem and/or the conflicting peripheral device.

If you are unsure of which

peripheral device is causing

the conflict, you can isolate

the source of the problem by

temporarily removing all

devices (except your modem

and essential devices such as

the disk controller). After

that, add the devices back

one at a time until the device

that is causing the conflict is

found.
