I've been having some problems with Direct3d games flashing during play, so I wrote Elsa to see what they think it could be. I received a message back today that said I should check to see if it is sharing resources with anything else in my system, I did and it is. Currently my NIC, ATA 100 raid controller, Sound Blaster Live! and Geforce 2 are sharing IRQ 11!!

How do I go about at least changing the GF2 to another IRQ (10 for example). I've tried going into the "Resources" tab under the device manager and it is greyed out.

Thanks for any help you can give me!

It's a problem with your mobo. The KT7 sucks.. I know because I have one :)
What you can do is go into the bios-->PNP/PCI config-->Assign irq to video. If it is enabled you can try to rearrage the pci cards so they do not share an irq. Do not put any cards into the pci slot closest to the agp slot.

Heh, I LOVE MY KT7 RAID!!! :D

There aren't any cards in PCI slot 1-4 so that shouldn't be a problem.

One solution would be to go to the device manager and change the computer type from ACPI PC to standard PC. After rebooting all the cards will be redetected and the IRQ's would be reassigned.
DISCLAIMER
People have tried this before but you might end up reinstalling the OS. I had disabled ACPI while installing win 2k so it installed standard PC.
