Reserving an IRQ within Windows 98/Me – Legacy ISA

Windows 98/Me also allows you to reserve interrupts for legacy use. In most cases

this works just as well as reserving the IRQ in the BIOS. However, you may still

have problems if you boot up an older version of DOS from a floppy where

Windows 98/Me can’t do its Plug-and-Play magic. To reserve an IRQ within

Windows 98/Me do the following:

1. Click on the Start button and select Control Panel under the Settings option.

2. Double click on the icon labeled System.

3. Select the tab labeled Device Manager and click the Properties button.

4. Select the tab labeled Reserve Resources and make sure that Interrupt

Request is selected.

5. Click on the Add button and enter the IRQ that is being used by your legacy

card.

6. Windows may prompt you that the IRQ is currently in use by another device.

Click on Details to see which device Windows currently thinks is using this

IRQ. It should be your Echo card or whatever device is currently conflicting

with your legacy card. If that is the case, go ahead and reserve the IRQ.

7. When Windows asks, reboot your machine. When Windows restarts your Plug-

and-Play cards will not be assigned to the reserved IRQ.

Hopefully, your system will now be functioning properly. If not, please refer to the

“Contacting Customer Service” section of this manual. We’ll do our best to help

you solve your problem.
