disable any unused ports.
To look for address or IRQ conflicts if you use
Windows 3.1x, select
File, Run
in Program
Manager, type
MSD,
and press ENTER. Then
select
Mouse, COM Ports,
and
IRQ Status
and note
the addreses and IRQs that are in use. If you find
an IRQ conflict, note which IRQs are not being
used, then change one of the conflicting devices to
use one of the unused IRQs. If you find an address
conflict, change the address of one of the
conflicting devices.
To change a port address or IRQ in Windows 3.1x,
double-click the
Control Panel
icon, then the
Ports
icon. Click on the port you want to change, click
Settings

Advanced,

or COM4, note that COM3 shares an IRQ with
COM1, as does COM4 with COM2, so you should
change their IRQs to unused ones, if possible.
