I run windows NT4 on a dual slot1 system. GPU is AGP.
My problem is, that a PCI card i want to install has a memory conflict with the GPU.
The Area is C8000. I tryed switching the IRQ bios setting, and the other PCI slots.
Tryed 3 diffrent AGP cards. All cards uses also C8000 in memory.

On windows98SE i can fix that issue in the device manager by manual switching the memory range.
But of corse NT4 dont have a device manager..

Is there any way to let me change memory I/O values?

Its been a long time, maybe you've tried this too. And this might break things in 98....

Have you tried turning off the "Plug and Play OS installed" option in the BIOS? That might make NT4 honour the BIOS settings for memory space.

But it might break 98, or shift the problem to 98.

Moving cards around with the PnP option toggled might help too, but I am well into trial and error suggestions, now. Otherwise, what card is the PCI problem? Perhaps there is an NT4 trick that can be done otherwise, using a resource kit program or some registry setting?
