The short answer is without reformatting and reintalling and using a the Standard PC HAL instead of the ACPI HAL then there really isn't anything you can do. And even using Standard PC HAL will still share some IRQ's.

In fact, IRQ sharing or &quot;virtual IRQ&quot; is a useful feature of Win2k. <br />
On my box for example I have several hardware use IRQ 20, 23, ..etc, and never have any problem.

<div class="content wysiwyg-content">
My motherboard is an ASUS CUSL2. Bios v1009.<br />
The OS is WIN2000.<br />
In BIOS the PCI IRQs are set as follows:<br />
Slot 1/5 IRQ = [10] with an SCSI card in the slot.<br />
Slot 2 IRQ = [9] with an FastTrack100 raid card in the slot.<br />
Slot 3 IRQ = [11] with an Network card in the slot.<br />
Slot 4 IRQ = [Auto] nothing in the slot.<br />
Slot 6 IRQ = [5] with a soundcard in the slot.<br />

Despite this Win2000 System Info reports the following:<br />
<br />
[Conflicts/Sharing]<br />
<br />
Resource &nbsp; &nbsp; Device<br />
IRQ 9 &nbsp; &nbsp; Microsoft ACPI-Compliant System<br />

What can one do to correct this and get the proper IRQ settings in win2000?

IRQ assignment in WIN2000

Windows 2000 is an operating system for use on both client and server computers. It is the successor to Windows NT 4.0, and is the last version of Microsoft Windows to display the "Windows NT" designation. Four editions of Windows 2000 were released (Professional, Server, Advanced Server, and Datacenter Server) that shared a core set of features, including many system utilities such as the Microsoft Management Console. All versions of the operating system support NTFS 3.0, Encrypting File System, as well as basic and dynamic disk storage. The Windows 2000 Server family includes support for Active Directory services, Distributed File System and fault-redundant storage volumes.
