Appendix B Notes for Windows

Additional Notes For Windows:

If you have added a communications card to your system, you can have

Windows set up your communications card by clicking “Start” on the Windows
TaskBar, selecting “Settings” and then “Control Panels.” In the Control Panels
window, select “Add New Hardware.”

Following installation, check the hardware configurations to ensure there are

no conflicts. You can find the port settings by clicking “Start” on the Windows
Taskbar, selecting “Settings”, “Control Panels” then “System” .In the System
window, select the “Device Manager” tab and look for “Ports” (COM & LPT).
Double-click “Ports” for a listing of all your communications ports. Double-clicking
on any of them will bring up the configuration settings.

Many newer communications cards allow the use of alternate Interrupt Requests
(IRQs). Windows also allows you to easily change addresses and IRQs to match
these settings. Tip: it's best to configure Windows first to identify potential
conflicts, then configure the communications card.

Windows Wand/Mouse Aperture Selection: You can find the port settings by

clicking “Start” on the Windows Taskbar, selecting “Control Panels” then
“System” .In the System window, select the “Device Manager” tab and look for
“Ports (COM & LPT).” Double-click “Ports” for a listing of all your communications
ports. Double-clicking on any of them will bring up the configuration settings.
Click the “Resources” tab to view settings. You can change settings by
deselecting the “Use Automatic Settings,” highlighting the IRQ and then choosing
a non-conflicting one.
