Help IRQ 3 being assigned to most hardware ....

try assigning IRQ3 to comm port 1 in bios, and make sure
all other IRQ's are available. this should force windows
to reassign the other settings to new IRQ's.

nuts

Is there anyway to fix this?
It looks like my MB is assigning other values at boot up
(screen flashjes to
fast to read) but windows is assigning IRQ 3 to whatever
it can. (see end of
message)

I've tried unistalliong these various devices including
the PIC driver, PCI
bus driver but this is what I get and windows doesn't
tun well with
everything on IRQ 3!!


If you got suggestion please reply to


thanks

Err.. I thought hardware IRQs only ranged from 0 to 15 ?

At the bios level, that is correct. At the O/S level it is an entirely
different story!
