Just for starters - I've already been up and down the Blizzard forums and I've gotten no help with this problem. I've been a victim of continuous Error # 132 Crashes in WoW. We've checked everything off the list of possible causes except for my IRQ settings. I've noticed that I have a few shared IRQ resources in this list:

[i]I/O Port 0x00000000-0x00000CF7 PCI bus
I/O Port 0x00000000-0x00000CF7 Direct memory access controller

I/O Port 0x000003C0-0x000003DF VIA CPU to AGP2.0/AGP3.0 Controller
I/O Port 0x000003C0-0x000003DF RADEON 9800 PRO

IRQ 10 RAID Controller
IRQ 10 VIA Rev 5 or later USB Universal Host Controller

IRQ 5 Realtek RTL8139/810x Family Fast Ethernet NIC
IRQ 5 VIA Rev 5 or later USB Universal Host Controller

IRQ 11 RADEON 9800 PRO
IRQ 11 CMI8738/C3DX PCI Audio Device
IRQ 11 VIA Rev 5 or later USB Universal Host Controller
IRQ 11 VIA USB 2.0 Enhanced Host Controller

Memory Address 0xD8000000-0xE7FFFFFF VIA CPU to AGP2.0/AGP3.0 Controller
Memory Address 0xD8000000-0xE7FFFFFF RADEON 9800 PRO

I/O Port 0x00009000-0x00009FFF VIA CPU to AGP2.0/AGP3.0 Controller
I/O Port 0x00009000-0x00009FFF RADEON 9800 PRO

Memory Address 0xA0000-0xBFFFF PCI bus
Memory Address 0xA0000-0xBFFFF VIA CPU to AGP2.0/AGP3.0 Controller
Memory Address 0xA0000-0xBFFFF RADEON 9800 PRO

I/O Port 0x000003B0-0x000003BB VIA CPU to AGP2.0/AGP3.0 Controller
I/O Port 0x000003B0-0x000003BB RADEON 9800 PRO

[/i]Can anyone suggest a way to clean up some of these IRQ conflicts? I'm not sure if these settings are problematic, or if they shouldn't be causing any issues. Thanks!
 
Shared IRQs are common in XP, and rarely cause issues.

Audio and video cards don't play well together, especially Audigy's. Probably because they are intensive.

Is that an onboard sound chip?

Is this just a WOW problem? Do they say ANYTHING about error 132?

If the sound is onboard, check the BIOS to see if the IRQ can be changed.

If it's a card, move it to a different PCI slot.
