Your U.S. Robotics 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 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 what you should do to
free the IRQ for your modem.
