CTCU Question

Question

Can I run CTCU to change or disable my card settings
if I have ICM in my system?

Answer

No, do not use CTCU to change or disable your card
settings since CTCU does not access or update the
resource settings database used by ICM.
You should use ICU instead to change or disable your
card settings if ICM is already loaded into your system.

CTCM Questions

Question

How do I use CTCM to configure both legacy and PnP
cards in DOS/Windows 3.1x?

Answer

First, run CTCU to add the information on the hardware
resource used by your legacy cards. Next, run CTCM to
configure your PnP card.

Alternatively, if you do not know your legacy cards’
settings, use CTCU to change the settings of your PnP
card. Then run CTCM and test whether your card works
properly. This is a trial-and-error method since CTCM
will not be “informed” about the resources that have
been reserved by your legacy cards. You may need to
try different combinations of settings before you can
configure your PnP cards successfully, without any
hardware conflicts with existing cards.

For more details on using CTCU or CTCM, please refer
to the sections “Using CTCM on page 3 and “Using
CTCU on page 4.
