Devices within the computer may require dedicated memory spaces, interrupt
levels, or DMA channels, all of which must be allocated during installation of
the devices. Because devices may be installed at different times, it is possible
that the same resource is assigned to two or more devices.

Resource conflicts can result in disorderly or erratic computer operation or fail-
ure of the computer to operate at all. If you suspect that resource conflicts
might exist, check the computer and reassign the resources as necessary.

For more information about resolving conflicts, see Chapter 3, “Troubleshoot-
ing Your Computer,” in the

Reference and Troubleshooting Guide.
