Install has detected that your faxmodem and mouse send the same signal to your computer to get its attention. This signal is called an Interrupt Request (or IRQ, for short). Ideally, each device connected to your computer should send a different IRQ signal.
Because of a shortage of available IRQs, computer devices sometimes share the same IRQ. Unfortunately, a mouse can't share an IRQ. Both your modem and mouse may act erratically or stop functioning until you eliminate the IRQ conflict.
To eliminate the IRQ conflict, consider these two suggestions. Check your faxmodem manual for others.
* RESELECT COM PORT? On the previous screen, you were asked to
specify which COM port your faxmodem uses. If you made a mistake
specifying the COM port, Install will be mistaken about the faxmodem's IRQ.
When you specify a COM port, Install assumes that your faxmodem uses
the IRQ commonly assigned to that COM port (COM1 and COM3 are
assigned to IRQ4 and COM2 and COM4 to IRQ3). Check again that you
have specified the right COM port. If you don't know the faxmodem's COM
port, try a different port now. Install will check to see whether it's the correct
one.
* CHANGE COM PORT? Reconnect your faxmodem to another COM port or
select another IRQ for the faxmodem.
To change your faxmodem's COM port or IRQ, see the faxmodem manual.
You will have to cancel Install (and probably exit from Windows) to complete
the change. After changing the COM port or IRQ, restart Windows and this
