jonnyboombastik Posted June 19, 2002 Share Posted June 19, 2002 Yeah an online technician on another game forum found my problem, but now he has disapeared for over a month If anyone knows how to fix this problem he addressed in my my computer, please email me joncaputo@videotron.ca , icq 2012088 or msn ossidium@hotmail.com I will greatly apreciate it, since its causing my jk2 to crash and freeze everytime i try to play. Thanks!! This is what I wrote to him, after he hold me to type msinfo32 in my start>run -------------- Curtis, this is what it says... IRQ 0 System timer OK IRQ 1 Standard 101/102-Key or Microsoft Natural PS/2 Keyboard OK IRQ 4 Communications Port (COM1) OK IRQ 6 Standard floppy disk controller OK IRQ 8 System CMOS/real time clock OK IRQ 9 Microsoft ACPI-Compliant System OK IRQ 9 NVIDIA GeForce DDR OK IRQ 9 VIA Rev 5 or later USB Universal Host Controller OK IRQ 9 VIA Rev 5 or later USB Universal Host Controller OK IRQ 9 Creative SB Live!

Thats all of the IRQs -------------- Curtis (technician) wrote: IRQ 9 is your problem. Your video, USB, sound, Network, and Modem are ALL on the same IRQ. What we need to do is try and get them off of those IRQs. I think we better do that over AIM. Will you be around tonight so I can walk you through that? ---------------------------- Please if anyone can help me I really want to play! Thanks!!

jasho Posted June 19, 2002 Share Posted June 19, 2002 What's your OS? Some OS's like Windows 2k and XP may not let you edit the IRQ settings. In some instances neither does Win9x or ME. This is because of the Plug and Play feature which automatically sets the IRQ. There are ways of disabling Plug and play and there are also ways of changing IRQ's, but it depends on the OS and some steps that I know of are quite complex and technical. Maybe someone else has an easy way of doing it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
teleguy Posted June 19, 2002 Share Posted June 19, 2002 Make sure that "Assign IRQ for VGA" is enabled in your BIOS setup. I think you can remove one of the IRQ 9 VIA Rev 5 or later USB Universal Host Controller's in your device manager. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chiles4 Posted June 19, 2002 Share Posted June 19, 2002 Isn't IRQ sharing like this just typical for XP? From everything I've heard it's just normal for XP to throw everything on one IRQ - isn't that what IRQ sharing is all about. Of course, if I saw this set up on my Win98SE system, I'd freak out. Like mentioned above, trying to change IRQs in XP is most likely a major ordeal! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jonnyboombastik Posted June 19, 2002 Author Share Posted June 19, 2002 but if i can put each device on its own IRQ i want to do it, its the last hope for me to play games. Ive tried everything else, including reformatting 4 times, all drivers.. etc.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Robbiesan Posted June 19, 2002 Share Posted June 19, 2002 Unfortunately I don't think you can choose your own IRQ's.. one thing you can do is try moving some cards (sound, NIC) around and see what IRQ's they get assigned.. maybe you should run dxdiag, save the results, and post them here so we can have a look.. start > run > dxdiag Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jonnyboombastik Posted June 19, 2002 Author Share Posted June 19, 2002 ok antoher tecnician has told me how to rid this problem, and it involves reinstalling windows at at a certain point, pressing f5 and choosing a new option. For anyone who is having the same problem, msg me so we can end the non-playable G@YNESS. thanks to all for trying to help. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NerfYoda Posted June 21, 2002 Share Posted June 21, 2002 I'd try rearranging your card order on your motherboard. Many motherboards have slots that share IRQ's on purpose between certain slots. Consult your motherboard manual. Usually putting your card in every other available slot works. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
