This won't help without sighted assistance, but actually many BIOSes have a setting to select one of two or three settings on IRQ order used by the PCI. That being said, for most people it is easier to just swap some cards arround. My method is far from scientific. I place all my cards in and see if it works. If it doesn't I swap a couple cards arround. I just select the card that doesn't work, and some other card. But this has only happened once or twice. -- Kirk Wood Cpt.Kirk@1tree.net ------------------ Seek simplicity -- and distrust it. Alfred North Whitehead
