find an offending card that was not listed by Device Manager, but is using an

interrupt that Windows has assigned to another device. If you don’t have any ISA

cards, or your legacy ISA card is not causing the conflict, you should take note of

which PCI card is assigned to the same IRQ as your Echo card.

If you have lost your manuals and are having trouble figuring out which card may

be causing a problem, you can try the brute force approach. Remove all cards from

your system and then re-install them one at a time until the system quits working.

The card that makes the computer stop working correctly will be the one that needs

to be dealt with.

Once the offending card has been identified you have a few different options. One

option is to simply remove the card from your system. However, you’ve likely got

the card in there for a reason, so unless it’s an old sound card you don’t care about

keeping, you’ll probably want to use an approach to remedying the problem that

allows the card to remain in the system.

If the offending card is a legacy ISA card, another option is to change the IRQ on

the card to an IRQ that isn’t currently being used as reported by the Reporter

program. While this may fix the problem at hand, the next time you add another

new Plug-and-Play card you may wind up with another conflict. If you choose this

option it is still a good idea to reserve the IRQ as described below.

If the offending card is a PCI card, you may want to skip to the section on

“Reconfiguring an IRQ within Windows 98/Me - PCI” a few pages down.
