I've been trying to fix this problem also. I have amd k6-III, 256mb RAM, riva tnt
16mb agp, and DFI with via chipset, running with winxp sp1. Problem occured exactly
like you said, when i'm trying to use photoshop 7 and annoying blue screen with "that"
msg appeared. I don't have irq conflict however via cpu to agp controller and nvida
riva tnt use the same memory addresses and I/O. I don't know how to fix it. Already
update the driver for the video card still the same. I can't change the slot because
you know..1 agp and via chipset on the mainboard. So can you help? or anyone alse
that read this...thx
