Troubleshooting Guidelines

6Upgrade your system BIOS. Note that even new computers may have a newer BIOS available.

a Make sure the BIOS Installed O/S setting is set correctly. This determines what software will configure all the Plug and Play cards in your system. Either the BIOS or the operating system can perform the task of querying all the cards to determine their resource needs, picking a valid configuration for all these cards, and telling the cards what their actual resource settings are.

b If the Installed O/S is set to Windows NT, NOT PnP O/S, or Other, the BIOS will perform this task.

c For NT version 4.0 or earlier, the BIOS must perform this task as the operating system does not know how to do this. For Windows 98, either the BIOS or the operating system can do this task, so try both. If you are running Windows NT, set to Running Windows NT, Not VXIplug&play OS or Other.
