Automated tool for Device Conflicts???

Friends
sadly I'm dealing with some systems that are years old, and for first time in years I see dreaded device conflicts. These are on PCI busses, utilizing cards for everything: modem card, idiotic Promise ATA-66 disk cntrl card, sound/game card, old NIC. The real question is a general one: is there a tool out there somewhere that can examine the setup and advise as to how to QUICKLY resolve resource conflicts on PCI-bus systems [WINTEL] ?

many thanks

Just a shot in the dark dont if you tried yet but go into admin tools in control panel and computer management system info/hardware choose the folders and list the components with conflicts and and go into the bios check to see if it is set to auto detect plug and play if so then set the irqs in the bios to reserved for each device that needs them.

 

thx catbro.
I was looking at that very thing yesterday. I have whittled down the ill-behaved 'conflicting' to just a modem card now. the nic, sound, etc are all happy, except that Win98SE hangs chronically on shutdown..... There are a million reasons for that [all too common] but one is a sticky device driver.
Another thread on another forum!
