Resolving Resource Conflicts with Legacy Boards
Resource conflicts typically occur if your system contains legacy boards
that use resources that are not reserved properly. If a resource conflict
exists, write down the resource that caused the conflict and refer to the
Microsoft Windows Me/9x user’s guide for instructions on how to use the
Device Manager to reserve I/O and IRQ resources for legacy boards.
