Device Conflict on a Windows System

Device Conflict on a Windows System
A device conflict under Windows NT may be related to the RoamAbout ISA card or PC
Card. To detect which card is causing the conflict, use the Windows NT diagnostics. This
problem can also appear on Windows 98 and the early version of Windows 95 (OSR0).
To help determine if a device conflict exists, check the following:
•
If there is a conflicting I/O Base setting, the RoamAbout PC Card usually does not
work at all and both LEDs are off.
•
If there is a conflicting IRQ value, LEDs may flicker but you cannot connect to the
network. In a number of cases, the card may succeed in connecting to a wireless
device, but fail to connect to the network operating system.
•
Another device in the computer no longer works properly.
