Resolving a hardware conflict

Plug and Play
With Plug and Play and Windows Millennium Edition,
avoiding hardware conflicts is easy. Plug and Play is a
computer standard that helps the system BIOS (basic input/
output system) and the operating system to automatically
assign resources to Plug and Play-compliant devices. In
theory, if every device connected to the computer is Plug
and Play-compliant, no two devices will compete for the
same system resources. Simply plug in the device and turn
on your computer. Windows Millennium Edition
automatically sets up your system to accommodate the new
device.
If you install an older (legacy) device that Windows
Millennium Edition cannot recognize, the operating system
may have difficulty assigning resources to it. As a result, a
hardware conflict can occur. To see what resources
Windows Millennium Edition has assigned to the device,
see
Resolving conflicts
There are three things you can do to resolve hardware
conflicts.
Disable the device.
For an older device, remove it from the computer. For a
Plug and Play device, see
Disable another system component and use its
resources for the new device. See
Reconfigure the device so that its requirements do not
conflict. Refer to the device’s documentation for
instructions about changing settings on the device.
