The tweak is
with the PCI steering settings. Now I noticed after
applying this tweak my system seems to be a bit more
stable and I have not had any conflict errors
what so ever. If you want to give it a try feel free and
here's how:
| 1. |
Open the
Control Panel. |
|
2. |
O
pen the System icon. |
|
3. |
Click on the Device Manager tab. |
| 4. |
Scroll down to System Devices and click on the + sign. |
| 5. |
Look for PCI Bus and then double click it. |
| 6. |
Click on the tab that
reads IRQ Steering and uncheck everything except
for the box that says "Get IRQ table using
MS Specification table." This will force the
OS to use just the MS steering table and not the
others. |
To give you a little history
on this, the PCI Bus steering table is read in order
meaning if the first box is checked and a steering
table is found that is the steering table it will
use. If it's unchecked then the next field is looked
at and used if a steering table is found, and so on.
By allowing only one table to be checked this allows
the MS table to be the only one in use and from what
I can tell this seems to be what 98 wants in the
first place.
