IRQ's

I want to be able to change the IRQ setting for a specific
device in Windows 2000 but the tick box that says to
use "automatic settings" is greyed out and i cannot change
it. using microsofts advice, i installed windows 2000 and
chose "standard pc" after pressing F5 to change the ACPI
settings. This has still not enabled me to change the IRQ.
Is there any way i can do this or is it locked out
completely?

Thanks, i have done that already though. i re-installed
windows, chose standard pc but i still cannot change the
IRQ's. I have looked in device manager under computer at
the top and it says "standard pc" in there. What else
needs doing to be able to change the IRQ's. Its driving
me insane!

Have you noticed that this newsgroup is for Windows XP and not Windows 2000?
Check with the Windows 2000 groups.


Also, set up the computer's BIOS "Plug and Play OS" option to "NO"
