Howdy,

Without more details as to OS and hardware, it's difficult to give you a succint answer. If you are using Win9x or ME, try this . . . open regedit, navigate to HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE, and delete the ENUM key, reboot and Windows will re-installall the hardware resources, hopefully in a more sharing way . . .

Well I'm running Windows 98SE, on a pentium 166, 80MB ram, 256k cache, the machine is Hewlett Packard Vectra and the card is a Advansys AHA-1522A, anything else you need to know just ask

Howdy again,

I am curious to know two things now, have you gone into the machine's BIOS to set the IRQ's apart manually, and did you do what I originally suggested with the registry?

Yeah, tried that but it didn't work, and with it being a Vecta, the IRQ settings are more difficult to set-up, I eventually got them reset manually though, I've now done a little bit of work on and the card isn't registering properly, it'll run the SCSI drive but not the CDROM or scanner, no matter what I set the terminators to,
The driver is the right one for the card, I've checked all that out and got the manufacterer's one off their download site,

Sounds like you've done everything possible, except change the data cable, scsi card, or terminator for "known good" parts. . .

by therealmofthedarkangel

Well, the SCSI itself is bootable and the SCSI drive boots Windows 98 from the SCSI drive, the data cable works fine, and they were all working in a 486 but when I changed the system over Pentium that's when the problems started...
