tc, and others your onecomputerguy.com site has got me poking around a bit... for now i'm looking at Displaying Hardware Conflicts onecomputerguy.com and here's what i am seeing on my w2k system *******************IRQ folder************** IRQ Number..... Device 9 Microsoft ACPI-Compliant System 9 Intel 82371AB/EB PCI to USB Universal Host Controller 9 YAMAHA Native DS1 WDM Driver 9 Macronix MX98715 Family Fast Ethernet Adapter (ACPI) 9 Promise Technology Inc. Ultra66 IDE Controller 9 3Com Windows Modem PCI ADI 9 Advansys SCSI Host Adapter 8 System CMOS/real time clock 13 Numeric data processor 6 Standard floppy disk controller 4 Communications Port (COM1) 1 Standard 101/102-Key or Microsoft Natural PS/2 Keyboard 12 PS/2 Compatible Mouse 15 Secondary IDE Channel ***********Conflicts/Sharing folder****** Resource..... Device IRQ 9 Microsoft ACPI-Compliant System IRQ 9 Intel 82371AB/EB PCI to USB Universal Host Controller IRQ 9 YAMAHA Native DS1 WDM Driver IRQ 9 Macronix MX98715 Family Fast Ethernet Adapter (ACPI) IRQ 9 Promise Technology Inc. Ultra66 IDE Controller IRQ 9 3Com Windows Modem PCI ADI IRQ 9 Advansys SCSI Host Adapter ******************************* per windows help, "The Conflicts/Sharing node identifies devices that are sharing resources or are in conflict". what i want to find out is should i assign new IRQ's to some of the above devices? i just have no idea. and i'm unclear as to whether it's okay to share these or if they are in conflict. the logical question for me is, well, am i having any probs? i would answer, some. i have had occasional loud snapping or cracking noise from speakers, but that seems to have been eliminated when i switched back to the original equipment. i was also getting some bsod's and they seem to have subsided when i disabled blackice. i did that because after each bsod, the bi engine icon had a red slash thru it and needed to be restarted, so it looked guilty. (there's some scientific analysis for you!) <g3> so, any input on the above IRQ arrangement will be appreciated. this is not an emergency and i don't want anyone to spend a lot of time on it. :) mark
