If you receive an error message telling you there is a device driver 
conflict or a general hardware problem, try using Windows Help 
to troubleshoot the problem first.

From the Windows Help menu, click the Contents tab and 
select Troubleshooting.

Click If you have a hardware conflict and follow the steps.

If there is still a problem, Windows 98 Second Edition should 
display a message that explains what the conflict is. For further 
assistance, contact your system administrator. 

The smooth operation of the system depends on the interaction of 
all devices, programs and features. 

The recommended procedure for getting multiple devices to work 
together is to add and configure 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 CD-ROM 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.
