My problem is on Windows98, with an ASUSP2B board. I have a Creative Blaster TNT128 card, SB LIVE card, and 3COM 10/100 Ethernet Card [ALL PCI Cards] occupying the same IRQ (11), yet there are no conflicts in the system. The reasoning is that the PCI Steering/Bridge is resolving the conflicts in the system. Occasionally I get hardware crashes, yet I'm not sure if it is due to this. My question is that if Windows 98 shows no hardware conflicts in the system, is it worth the effort to seperate the IRQs to see if this is the problem? Any advice would be appreciated.

hello... try booting in safe mode and see the devices if there are any duplicate drivers.. ...when booting in normal mode.. sometimes it is possible to see no errors in device drivers.. but although they might exist..

I have an SiS 6326 on board AGP video chip. I am trying to install a VOODOO3 2000 PCI card, but am having no luck. I keep getting a Windows Protection Error whenver I try to reboot with the new 3DFx driver installed. After speaking with 3DFx tech support, they said I need to have a seperate IRQ for this card. After looking at my IRQ list in the System Hardware Manager, I realized that I have 6 other items that share IRQ11. And when I try and change the IRQ on any of these devices, it does not let me. One interesting thing is that there is an item called IRQ Holder for PCI Steering that shows up 3 times in the IRQ list. Is this necessary? Is there any way to delete these things? And does anyone know how to make my Video Card work? I have a VIA BX-too 767v motherboard. Can anyone help?

You have several peripherals on the IRQ 11, but windows does not detect any conflict. I have the same problem with a Compaq Armada 1750T computer. I called Compaq; they told me that the IRQ 11 is now a shared IRQ on all computers (that's not a joke) and of course there is no problem.

well hmm I have a phoneline network card on IRQ 11 but my computer won't boot into windows ..is there software to see for conflicts?
