Before You Begin (Windows 95 Users) - US Robotics Sportster Operating Instructions Manual

EFORE
Your Sportster modem is a Plug and Play
device. Windows 95 can automatically identify
a Plug and Play device and determine if your
system has the resources necessary to support
the device. However, Plug and Play will not
work if you do not have resources available or
if devices on your system are not reporting
resource usage correctly. Here's how you can
verify that your system has the necessary
resources before installing the modem.
1. Click the Windows 95 Start button, point
to Settings, and then click Control Panel.
2. Double-click the System icon.
3. When the "System Properties" screen
appears, click the Device Manager tab.
4. Double-click Computer and the
"Computer Properties" screen appears.

Select the option at the top of the screen to
show Interrupt Requests (IRQs).
You will see the IRQs your system is currently
using. If IRQs 3, 4, 5, and 7 are being used,
you need to free an IRQ before you begin
installation. This process involves moving a
device from the IRQ you want to use to a
different (and unusually higher) IRQ setting.
Please read the documentation for (or contact
the manufacturer of) the device that is currently
using the IRQ you want to use for your modem
to learn more about what you should do to free
the IRQ for your modem.
