Windows 98 IRQ conflicts occur if a device either is not detected during the
Windows 98 Plug and Play setup or is detected but incorrectly configured. To check
for conflicts, perform the following steps:
1. Click the Start button, point to Settings, and click Control Panel.
2. In the Control Panel, double-click System.
3. Click the Device Manager tab.
4. In the Device Manager list, check for conflicts with the other devices.
Conflicts are indicated by a yellow exclamation point (!) beside the conflicting
device or a red X if the device has been disabled.
5. Double-click any conflicting device listed to bring up the Properties window so
you can determine what needs to be reconfigured or removed from the Device
Manager. Resolve these conflicts before checking specific devices.
6. Double-click the malfunctioning device type in the Device Manager list.
7. Double-click the icon for the specific device in the expanded list.
The Properties window appears.
8. If there is an IRQ conflict, the Device status area in the Properties window
reports what expansion cards or devices are sharing the device's IRQ. Resolve
the IRQ conflicts.
