Starting And Using The Windows 95 Device Manager - IBM Aptiva Handbook

Starting and using the

Use the Windows 95 Device Manager to verify or

determine whether the joystick port on your Mwave
card is enabled.
You can use the Device Manager to resolve several
resource conflicts, such as those that might occur with
input/output (I/O) address, interrupt request (IRQ), and
direct memory access (DMA) resources.

In the My Computer window, double-click on the
Control Panel icon.

musical instrument digital interface (MIDI) devices. If
your computer has these devices installed, the Device
Manager displays entries (list items) for the devices. For
instance, sound devices might be contained in the
expanded list that appears when you double-click on the
the Sound, video, and game controllers list item.
