Resolving software configuration conflicts:
The memory-address space and IRQs used by some
hardware options might conflict with addresses defined for
use through application programs or the expanded memory
specification (EMS). (EMS is used only with DOS.)
If a conflict exists, one or more of the following conditions
might exist:
Ÿ
The system cannot load the operating system.
Ÿ
The system does not work.
Ÿ
An application program does not operate, or it returns
an error.
Ÿ
Screen messages indicate a conflict exists.
To resolve conflicts, you can change the software or
hardware configuration.
Note
Start the Configuration/Setup Utility program to view
the addresses used by the system board functions.
The best way to resolve memory-address conflicts is to
change the addresses used by the application program or
the device driver. You can use the Configuration/Setup
Utility program to change addresses.
If a device driver is causing a memory-address conflict,
refer to the operating-system documentation or the
documentation supplied with the device drivers.
