I read subhuman's post about installing W2K with the Standard PC HAL
( http://www.planetz.com/forums/viewtopic ... 97&forum=3 )

Now that I've reinstalled W2K and the pulsar drivers, I notice that there is still some IRQ sharing going on: Pulsar shares IRQ 11 with the LAN card and a SBLive card. Is this likely to cause any problems ? And can it be changed ? I have some spare IRQs as I have disabled the on-board COM and USB ports.

Thanks in advance

It is not recommended to let CW cards share IRQs with non-CW cards.

Thanks Immanuel, that's pretty much what I thought... The problem is, I can't see a way in device manager to change the resources used by those cards. (Unlike Win98, the options to override the defaults are greyed out).
Does anyone know how to change this ?
Thanks again

Your BIOS might have the option to set a specifik IRQ for the PCI slots. That should be the place to do it.

or try to use other slots

Yep, most probably you have your Pulsar in a shared PCI slot, in which case setting the interrupt requests in bios won't help you much. Insted refer to your motherboard's user manual to see which slots share interrupt requests and switch.
