Your U.S. Robotics
and Play device. Windows
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.
5. 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 usually 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 how to free the IRQ for
your modem.
