Resolving Conflicts in
Windows 95 OSR 2.X/
98/
98SE/ME
If you are unsure of which
peripheral device is causing the
conflict, you can isolate the
source of the problem by
temporarily removing all devices
(except your modem and
essential devices such as the disk
controller). After that, add the
devices back one at a time until
the device that is causing the
conflict is found.
Hardware conflicts may occur when two or more peripheral devices are set to use the same I/O
address, IRQ line or DMA channel.
To resolve conflicts in Windows 95 OSR 2.X, Windows 98/98SE, Windows 2000, Windows
NT, Windows Me or Windows XP, change the resource settings of your modem or the
conflicting peripheral device using Device Manager.
To run Device Manager:
1. Click Start -> Settings -> Control Panel.
2. Click the System icon. The System Properties dialog box appears.
3. Click the Device Manager tab.
4. Double-click Modem.
5. Select your modem and click the Properties button. The Properties dialog box of the
modem appears.
6. Click the Resources tab.
7. Click the Use Automatic Settings check box to select it. If this check box is already
selected, you need to go to the Properties dialog box of the conflicting peripheral device and
select the same check box there.
8. Restart your system to allow Windows 95 OSR 2.X/98/98SE to reassign resources to your
modem and/or the conflicting peripheral device.
