If there is still a problem, the operating system should display 
a message that explains what the conflict is.

The smooth operation of the system depends on the 
successful interaction of all devices, programs, and features. 
If the system or one of its attached devices isn’t working, 
resolving the problem can be time-consuming and frustrating.

The recommended procedure for getting multiple devices to 
work together is to add and set up one device at a time. After 
you add each device, test it to make sure it and all previously 
connected devices work.

The device most recently connected to the system is the one 
most likely to be causing a hardware conflict.

Computer components need resources to accomplish a task. 
A device, such as a disk drive or a modem, needs a channel to 
the computer’s Central Processing Unit (CPU). It also needs a 
direct channel to the computer’s memory to store information 
as it works. These channels of communication are commonly 
referred to as system resources.
