Resolving a hardware conflict
Resolving a hardware conflict
If you receive an error message telling you there is a device driver
conflict or a general hardware problem, try using Windows
®
Millennium Edition Help to troubleshoot the problem first.
For help on hardware conflicts:
1 From the Help menu, double-click Troubleshooting .
2 Click Hardware and System device problems and follow
the steps.
If there is still a problem, the operating system should display a
message that explains what the conflict is.
A plan of action
The smooth operation of the system depends on the interaction of
all devices, programs, and features. If the system or one of its
attached devices isn’t working, resolving the problem can be time-
consuming and frustrating.
The recommended procedure for getting multiple devices to work
together is to add and set up one device at a time. After you add
each device, test it to make sure it and all previously connected
devices work.
The device most recently connected to the system is the one most
likely to be causing a hardware conflict.
Resolving hardware conflicts on your own
Computer components need resources to accomplish a task. A
device, such as a disk drive or a modem, needs a channel to the
computer’s Central Processing Unit (CPU). It also needs a direct
channel to the computer’s memory to store information as it
works. These channels of communication are commonly referred
to as system resources.
