If you can fix this your a guru and i love you.
I had my NIC installed and then uninstalled it, installed my modem and now i want to install my NIC again and im getting a system device resource conflict or some simmilar error while its booting. When i boot to safemode i can change the irq settings. The IRQ options that this network card supports are 3,5,9,10,11,12,15. All of them are in use except 9 and 10. So i go in and change my modem to 9 and nic to 10 and it doesnt work so i try it the other way and it still wont work. i tried putting the nic in a different ISA slot and it still doesnt work :(

I'm starting to wonder if this isn't a IRQ problem because Matrox MGA powerdesk and NIC had a IRQ of 11 at the same time before and my modem wouldnt work, even though it was using either 9 or 10 at the time. And at one time my NIC was at 3 and so was my TV card and my modem again the modem wouldnt work even though it was using 9 or 10.

My modem is using 9 right now and works fine as long as my NIC isn't in here. I manually set the modem at 9 but had to check the "use automatic settings" for it to work again. Any help would be appriciated, i've rebooted windows atleast 30 times now :)

Did you try setting up your modem and then putting the network card in a different slot thatn the one you first tried? Or setting PNP OS to no in BIOS so that bios can fix the settings?

i hate to tell you but your device controller is all messed up. you best bet is to format your drive.
