Hi, I think you can change the memory range of a driver by going to the control panel choosing the system icon and then selecting the device that is causing proplems, click on properties , disable automatic configuration and change the memory range. Caution needed! As regards config.sys This is an item I copied from mine: DEVICEHIGH=C:\WINDOWS\COMMAND\VIDE-CDD.SYS /D:CD-ROM I believe this is for non-windows based applications. I'd be concerned about putting a similar statement for your problem device in the windows route of config.sys. I believe Windows should take care of memory conflicts for you and you might strike problems if you try to circumvent the normal boot up. I would suggest you uninstall the problem device and reinstall it and hopefully windows should then ensure the memory conflict is resolved. Regards Mike PS Don't ask me what range you should put in, I'm afraid I haven't a clue!
