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.
Hardware conflicts may occur when two or more peripheral devices are set to use the same I/O address, IRQ line or DMA channel.
To resolve conflicts in Windows 95, Windows 98/98SE, Windows 2000, Windows Me or Windows XP, change the resource settings of your modem or the conflicting peripheral device using Device Manager.
To run Device Manager:
1.Click Start
2.Click the System icon. The System Properties dialog box appears.
3.Click the Device Manager tab.
4.
5.Select your modem and click the Properties button. The Properties dialog box of the modem appears.
6.Click the Resources tab.
7.Click the Use Automatic Settings check box to select it. If this check box is already selected, you need to go to the Properties dialog box of the conflicting peripheral device and select the same check box there.
8.Restart your system to allow Windows 95/98/98SE to reassign resources to your modem and/or the conflicting peripheral device.
