Recently I tried installing a game(Harpoon II) after I configured to run, I started the application and the message Illegal Interrupt # appeared. I've done all the troubleshooting basics I could think of. Has anyone ever seen this before, and how is it fixed?

The only thing that I can think of is that you could possible have your video card and sound card on the same IRQ. This usually occurs when you have PCI video and sound cards. If your running Win95/98, go into Device Manager and look at the properties of My Computer. Then look at your IRQ's. If your video and sound cards are using the same IRQ you can usually fix this easily by moving your sound card to the lowest pci slot and your video card to the upper pci slot.

Hope this helps.
