Resolving Configuration Conflicts
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 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 your 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 your
operating-system documentation or the documentation supplied
with the device drivers.
