IRQ conflict on new system with Win2000. I configured CMOS for PnP but Windows assigned IRQ 11 to 3 devices. 1. video adapter 2. modem 3. sound card I have more than enough free IRQ's but can't switch because the resources tab of each device has the change setting button grayed out. I suspect I have to alter CMOS so 2 of the devices use manually set IRQ's.

I don't know whatever happened to Mark. His contribution to this thread is missed. Cheers, PW. P.S. This thread, Subject 51626 which appears prominently on today’s Hot Subject list, contains links which display images of paintings. I’ve enjoyed viewing them, and thought I’d like to do a little more with them. Right click an image, select Save As…, and enter a file name. The image file will be stored on your disk with a .JPG extension. Open Window’s Paint program, click File, Open, and set the file types so that your image file can be seen by the Open command, select and open the file. Your image should appear in the Paint work area. In Paint, click Image, select Attributes and record the size of the image in pixels. Example: 920 by 600. Calculate the percentage the image needs to change to fit your display. For example, to fit my display of 1080 x 760, this image would need to be sized 118 percent horizontally and 128 percent vertically. Round to a bit larger. In Paint, click Stretch/Skew and enter your percentages. Your image will now fit your screen, almost. Click Image, select Attributes again and enter your exact screen size for width and height. In my case, it’s 1080 and 768 pixels. The few pixels chopped off shouldn’t be missed. Now save the image using File, Save As… and select a new file name. Pay particular attention to the File Type box. You’ll want to preserve your colours. You can make the image your wallpaper by clicking File, Set as Wallpaper (Centered). If you choose to use your image to replace Windows’ system screens, such as LOGOS.SYS or LOGOW.SYS, the process is similar, except that you’ll need to size the image to 320 by 400. In Paint, the image will appear distorted, but in use, will appear normal. Also, you must save the image type as 256 colours. After saving the image file, copy it to the Windows folder. Explorer may warn you about changing the extension – ignore this warning. You can also use the image as a background in Explorer. Click View, select Customise this folder…, select Choose a background picture, and click Next. If your image file isn’t among those displayed, click the Browse button and find it. Once selected, you’ll get a preview of the image. If OK, click the Next button, and then the Finish button.
