address, IRQ line or DMA channel.
Resolving Conflicts in
Windows 95/98/98 SE/
Me
To resolve conflicts in Windows 95/98/98 SE/Me, change the resource settings of your modem
or the conflicting peripheral device using Device Manager.
To run Device Manager:
1. Right-click the
My Computer
icon on your Windows 95/98/98 SE/Me desktop.
2. Click
Properties
from the pull-down menu.
The
System Properties
dialog box appears.
3. Click the
Device Manager
tab.
A list of system devices is displayed.
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 95/98/98 SE/Me to reassign resources to your modem
and/or the conflicting peripheral device.
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.
