If Something Goes Wrong
Resolving a hardware conflict
If you install an older (legacy) device that the operating
system cannot recognize, the operating system may have
difficulty assigning resources to it. As a result, a hardware
conflict can occur.
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
Manager" on page
❖
Reconfigure the device so that its requirements do not
conflict. Refer to the device's documentation for
instructions about changing settings on the device.
