IRQ problem WinXP Pro English\Polish

[BimBom]

Hello!

The problem is: I can not change and IRQ settings from WXP PRO and six or
seven devices are set to thesame IRQ, e.g. 10 or eleven.

I had tried to manipulate BIOS setings, but the only result is jump from one
IRQ to enother while few devices are still on one particular IRQ.

It afects the system to slow dawn a lot, and is anoing.

ANY IDEAS OR COMMENTS?

thanks any way

Sounds like youre using ACPI and thats how it manages devices. How are you
determining that the system is slower due to the devices and not something
else on the machine?

Having multiple devices on the same IRQ in WinXP is completely normal. The
OS uses IRQ Steering, and unless device manager shows a problem with a
device indicating that the IRQ assignment is in conflict with another
device, you should leave all alone. Again, device manager will tell you if
you have an IRQ conflict. If you do have a conflict, see if the device has
jumpers on the card to change the IRQ, or try moving it to a different slot.
