POG451: Which of the devices shown in device manager for the sound system is giving you this error code?
ASKER
well, the device giving the problems at the moment is the game at I/O 210 (or 210? im not sure at this minute - its not adjustable anyway). I find this very strange because i used to have a simpler aztech soundcard with a gameport which worked fine, so i cant imagine that i suddenly have a conflict somewhere - it does look as though my card may be defect :-(((
Do you have another card you could borrow to verify your suspicion.
======See if this oferrs you any help.
NOTE: Some sound cards and video adapters do not report all
the resources they are using to Windows 95. This can cause
Device Manager to show only one device in conflict, or no
conflicts at all. This can be verified
by disabling the sound card, or using the standard VGA video
driver too see if the conflict is resolved. (This is a known problem
with S3 video cards and 16-bit Sound Blaster sound cards, or
those sound cards using Sound Blaster emulation for Sound
Blaster compatibility.)
When you select a specific device in Device Manager, then click
the Properties button, you see a property sheet. The property
sheet has a General tab.
NOTE: Some devices may have other tabs besides the General
tab.
Not all property sheets have the same tabs; some devices may
have a Resource tab, Driver tab, and Settings tab, or some
combination of these.
At the top of the property sheet, there is a description of the
device. When you click the Resource tab, the window in the
middle of the tab indicates which resource types are available for
the selected device.
The scroll box at the bottom of the contains a Conflicting Device
list.
This list indicates a conflict with an error code.
Note the Use Automatic Settings check box. If Windows 95
successfully detects a device, this check box is selected and the
device should function correctly.
However, if the resource settings are based on Basic Configuration
(where is any number from 0 to9), it may be necessary to change
the configuration by selecting a different basic configuration from
the list. If the particular configuration you want for the device is not
listed as a basic configuration, it may be possible to click the
Change Settings button to manually adjust the resource values.
For example, to edit the Input/Output Range setting, use these
steps:
1. Click the Use Automatic Settings check box to clear it.
2. Click the Change Setting button.
3. Click the appropriate I/O range for the device.

USING THE DEVICE MANAGER EFFICIENTLY
If a hard ware such as a mouse, modem or CD-ROM didn't get
detected automatically and you know that CMOS settings and the
hardware is OK then you could have IRQ or I/O port conflict.
The best way to find out is go to the Control Panel\System
icon\Device manager tab and click print, don't select to print the
whole report because you will end up with 40 pages or more, just
select the IRQ and I/O ports summary, from there you see what
using what.
