I have a question about Resolving
Hardware Conflicts:
Ok, after nearly a week of reinstalling and reformatting, I have stumbled across
the only viable problem that keeps causing my Windows XP to blue screen.
I have been told that their is a Device Driver problem, after much research, I coulden't
find it. I do believe that after downloading a third party diagnostic that I have
located the problem.
My sound card (Hercules Gamesurround MUSE XL) is attempting to share an IRQ with
my Network Card (Realtek Fast Ethernet). Both cards, which are supposed to be PnP
are trying to share IRQ 17.
Is this normal (I pretty sure its not.) and is their a way to force an IRQ assignment
to a PnP card (I don't care which one) or, should I scrap the card, and purchase
a new one?
Any help would be aprreciated.
Athalon XP 1800+
MSI KT3 Ultra (Mobo)
512 MB PC-2100 RAM
ATI Radeon 8500LE (Running Catalyst Driver)
Maxtor 20 Gig HD
Realtek Fast Ethernet Card
Hercules MUSE XL soundcard (??)
