you there is a device driver conflict or a general hardware problem
.
Using Windows Help
If your operating system is Windows 95/98/2000, try using Windows
Help to troubleshoot the problem first.
1. From the Windows Help menu, click the Contents tab and select
Troubleshooting.
2. Click If you have a hardware conflict and follow the steps. (The
available Help options may vary depending on the operating system
you are using.)
If a problem continues, Windows should display a message that

A plan of action
The recommended procedure for getting multiple devices to work
together is to add and set up one device at a time. After you add each
device, test it to make sure it and all previously connected devices work.
The device most recently connected to the system is the one most likely
to be causing a hardware conflict.
