Device Manager problems

Trying to help a friend whose unemployed, her system was a P166 running windows98 with 80Mb RAM, motherboard died, i bought her a new case and i had an old amd450Mhz processor fitted to a soyo 5EMA+ M/B, used the enum trick to redetect all hardware. All went well until i got a BSOD, tracked that down to faulty ISA soundcard removed that and all ok. Only problem is in device manager i have two entries for Direct Memory Access controller one of which has the yellow exclamation mark. The PC is booting ok with just this problem in DMA. Any ideas?

Doug

Remove the one that is NOT flagged and reboot. Do the same for any other double devices where one is flagged - you may see 2 keyboards like this too. This is common and addressed in the ENUM thread in Tips and Tricks.
