After installing a Creative SB Live soundcard in order to
use with legacy games where IRQ is linited to 5 10-11 13-
15, I found that "Plug 'n' Pray" was assingning virtual
IRQs of 16 or 21 which won't work. When I went to Device
Manager/Sound, Video and Game Controllers/SB Live and
clicked Properties and went to the Resources tab to
change the IRQ ACCORDING TO MICROSOFT'S OWN INSTRUCTIONS,
I found that I could not uncheck the "Use Automatic
Settings" checkbox to change the IRQ. Help? I remember
that one has more control when logged on
as "administrator" but, since I never created a password
for that account when I originally installed XP, I cannot
now logon as "administrator" and this may be part of the
problem even though MS says Administrator group has all
access-that is not correct. Thanks for any help.
