If Something Goes Wrong
Resolving a hardware conflict
The device most recently connected to the system is the one most
likely to be causing a conflict.
Resolving conflicts
There are several things you can do to resolve hardware conflicts:
Get the most recent drivers from the manufacturer.
Disable the device.
For an older device, remove it from the computer.
Disable another system component and use its resources for the
new device. See “Fixing a problem with Device Manager” on
page 173.
Reconfigure the device so that its requirements do not conflict.
Refer to the device’s documentation for instructions about
changing settings on the device.
Fixing a problem with Device Manager
Device Manager provides a way to check and change the
configuration of a device.
Changing the default settings using Device Manager can cause other
conflicts that make one or more devices unusable. Device Manager
is a configuration tool for advanced users who understand
configuration parameters and the ramifications of changing them.
Checking device properties
Device Manager provides a way to view the properties of a device.
Properties include the name of the manufacturer, the type of device,
the drivers installed, and the system resources assigned to the
device.
To check a device’s properties:
1 Click Start, Control Panel, System and Maintenance, and
then Device Manager.
2 To view the device(s) installed, double-click the device type.
3 To view the properties, double-click the device.
The operating system displays the Device Properties dialog
box, which provides an array of tabs. They may include:
The General tab, which provides basic information about
the device.
