ISA Configuration Utility Messages

T
he ISA Configuration Utility (ICU) and its Configu-
ration Manager are capable of identifying problems and
alerting you to them. Both utilities can alert you to prob-
lems with card configuration as well as problems that
prevent proper operation of the utility. This appendix
describes each type of message and lists the possible
causes and actions you can take to resolve any problems
indicated by a message. See the following tables to locate
your message and identify any possible corrective
actions.

CU Error Messages
The ICU can display a variety of error messages while in
operation. These messages alert you to problems that pre-
vent the ICU from running correctly, as well as informing
you of resource conflicts that prevent the configuration of
various cards in your computer. If you receive a message
from the ICU, see Table A-1 for suggestions on resolving
any problems indicated by the message.
Corrective Action
Disable any TSR programs or any unneeded
device drivers. Another possible solution is to
load the dwcfgmg.sys driver into high memory.
See "Modifying the Configuration Manager" in
Chapter 3 for an example of loading the
dwcfgmg.sys driver into high memory using a
memory manager.
Verify that you are starting the ICU from the
directory where it is installed. Make sure to
switch to drive A before attempting to start the
utility.
