a list of device compatibilities or usage bulletins. If so, read them—they may
hold the answer to your problem.
- If the new device is not being detected, use the Add New Hardware Wizard
from the Control Panel to install it. If the Add New Hardware Wizard is not able
to install the device, you will need to configure the system resources manually. - Open the Device Manager, highlight the selection for the device in question
and click the Properties button. On the Properties window, choose the Resources
tab. Clear the Use Automatic Settings check box.
Now choose the system resources that are in conflict and use the Edit Resource
function to reassign them to available or unassigned resources. The Device
Manager will not let you assign values outside of the assignable range. If you
assign a resource already in use, you will also get a warning. When all is well,
click OK and close the Device Manager.
- Restart the system. The problem should be solved. If not, repeat this process
until you arrive at a workable set of system resources. If the manufacturer has
technical support available, don’t be too stubborn to call or e-mail them.
