Resolving conflicts with installed adapter cards
If you purchased a computer with an installed modem card, this section can help
you resolve some potential conflicts between your new hardware and the modem
card.
If after installing a new hardware option, the modem or new hardware option does
not work, use the Windows 98 Device Manager to compare the resources used by
the installed modem card and the new hardware option. If both devices attempt to
use the same resource, refer to the new hardware's documentation to change the
resource used by the new hardware.
If the resource for the new hardware cannot be changed, change the resource for
the modem card in the Device Manager.
