Verifying the Windows 95/98/Me Configuration

Windows assigns an interrupt request (IRQ) number for your modem. Because the number of IRQs is limited, a computer with several accessories may not have an available IRQ for your new modem. In that case, you may have to decide which of your other accessories you can modify or do without.

Be aware that resource settings should be changed only by users with expert knowl- edge of computer hardware and hardware configurations.

Note: Changing resource settings improperly can disable your hardware and can cause your computer to malfunction or be inoperable.

1.Click Start Settings Control Panel. Double-click the System icon.

2.When the System Properties dialog box appears, click the Device Manager tab. A list of device types appears.
