Mouse Problems and IRQ Settings?

[xcspear 0]

I just put on windows 2000 and it put a lot of hardware on IRQ 9. Is there a way to change this? Since my video card and network card are on the same IRQ number it makes the mouse stick for a second when im using the internet. It dose this all the time when Im on the internet. I know this is the problem between the video card and network card because of how it did the same thing in windows 98se. On Windows 98 se when i change the IRQ numbers so they were differnt from each otherit worked just fine and the mouse problem went away. I just need to know how to get the video card, sound card and network card all on differnt IRQ numbers.

 

Dose anyone know how to do this??

The massive interrupt sharing is caused by ACPI, so you have to tell you system in the device manager that it's a standard system and not an acpi system.

If you want to do this with your current system, go to the device manager and update the system driver to standard pc.

If you want an absulutely clean install, press F5 when Win2k gives the F6-option to install a SCSI/IDE driver, and choose the standard pc system there.

Note that you'll have to activate APM under the energy options of the control panel in order to make your system automatically shutdown.

oops, forgot to mention that the F5 option is during the Win2k installation (at an early point, when there's no graphical surface yet).

I see this IRQ question every other day. It would be great if this could be answered in the FAQ on this page.
