insufficient I/O resources, conflicting devices - EPOX, NVIDIA GF2 MX/MMX 400

[MarDude]

Heellpp,

I'm pulling my hair out on this one. I'm having trouble configuring my video card in device manager.

I get the message "This device cannot find any free Input/Output (I/O) resources to use (code 12)". Well I went into the Resources section of the device and attempted
to manually configure the conflicting devices (as the hardware troubleshooting tells
you to do). Any attempt I make to "Change the setting" for any of the conflicting
Resource types gives me the message "This resource cannot be modified".

The conflicts seem to be with devices:
"Motherboard resources" and
"System board extension for PnP BIOS".

My system configuration is as follows:
WIN98 2nd Edition
EPOX 8KHA+ motherboard (KT266A chipset)
Visiontek NVIDIA GeForce2 MX/MMX 400 video card
512MB of Crucial DDR ram
AMD Athlon XP 1600+ cpu
SB Live! Value 5.1
Maxtor 40gig 7200rpm, ATA100
Pioneer 16x DVD-ROM drive
3-COM 10/100 network card

I've upgraded to the latest BIOS for the motherboard (4.37?) and the latest driver for
the NVIDIA card (23.11) I've even tried installing Windows ME and the problem does not go away.

I would start by removing all pci cards and start up with the vid card only. Check your motherboard manual for which pci slot(s) do not share. Try your sblive in that slot. Run the machine for awhile to make sure all is well. If not try differant slots. Always leave slot 1 open. After you find a home for the soundcard, continue adding cards one by one until you get a stable combination.
