System Resources Assignment
In most cases, your computer will automatically assign the system
resources when you install a new device. For example, your
computer will assign such resources as the
Interrupt Request level
(IRQ) and the
Input/Output (I/O) ports when you install a PC Card
modem. Other devices may need such system resources as Direct
Memory Access (DMA) and Memory. Each system resource has a
maximum value, for example the maximum value for IRQ on your
computer is 16 (0–15).
For information about the system resources available on your
computer, see online book or user's guide of your computer.
Sometimes Windows 95 does not allocate the resources correctly
since the resource may already be allocated to another device. This
is called a system resource
conflict or contention. In this case, you
must set the system resources manually by using either method:
Device Manager of Windows 95
ThinkPad Configuration program of your ThinkPad computer.
Before you allocate the system resources manually, you must find
out the currently available system resources by doing the following:
1
Double-click on My Computer, Control Panel, and System;
then click on the Device Manager tab. The current devices
are listed.
2
Click on the Computer icon at the top of the device list and
click on Properties.
The View Resources window showing the resources (IRQ, I/O
ports, DMA and memory) currently available appears:
