Resolving Conflicts in Windows 98SE/ME

If you are unsure of which peripheral device is causing the conflict, you can isolate the source of the problem by temporarily removing all devices (except your modem and essential devices such as the disk controller). After that, add the devices back one at a time until the device that is causing the conflict is found.
