Packard Bell Legend 820CD Hangs During Hardware Detection

 * }

Q131931

-

The information in this article applies to:


 * Microsoft Windows 95

-

SYMPTOMS
After you install an Intel EtherExpress Pro 16 network adapter in a Packard Bell Legend 820CD computer, the computer may stop responding (hang).

CAUSE
The computer may not have a free IRQ (hardware interrupt).

RESOLUTION
To resolve this problem, configure the computer so that there is an available IRQ for each hardware device that requires one. For assistance in configuring IRQs, please contact Packard Bell Technical Support.

MORE INFORMATION
Windows 95 Setup does not attempt to detect the network adapter when there are no available IRQs.

If you install the network adapter in the computer and there are no available IRQs, you can run Windows 95 only in Safe mode. After you start Windows 95 in Safe mode, you can disable the network adapter and then run Windows 95 normally. Network support is disabled in this configuration.
