WinMe conflict w/ Intel 82371 AB/EB PCI Bus Master IDE Controller
Hi everyone,
I have a very old issue. Since I installed WinMe on an IBM ThinkPad 770 [9548-30U], Device Manager showed: ! Intel 82371 AB/EB PCI Bus Master IDE Controller Properties say: This device is causing a resource conflict (Code 15) To solve the conflict, click "Hardware Troubleshooter" (Unfortunately it does NOT work). Details of the conflicts a Resource Type Setting Φ Input/Output Range 01F0 - 01F7 Φ Input/Output Range 03F6 - 03F6 Φ Interrupt request 14 Φ Input/Output Range 0170 - 0177 Φ Input/Output Range 0376 - 0376 Φ Interrupt request 15 Φ Input/Output Range FCF0 - FCFF Conflict Device List: Input / Output Range 01F0 - 01F7 used by Standard Bus Mastering IDE Hard Disk Controller Input / Output Range 03F6 - 03F6 used by Standard Bus Mastering IDE Hard Disk Controller Interrupt request 14 used by Standard Bus Mastering IDE Hard Disk Controller Input / Output Range 0170 - 0177 used by Standard Bus Mastering IDE Hard Disk Controller Input / Output Range 0376 - 0376 used by Standard Bus Mastering IDE Hard Disk Controller Interrupt request 15 used by Standard Bus Mastering IDE Hard Disk Controller Input / Output Range FCF0 - FCFF used by Standard Bus Mastering IDE Hard Disk Controller Input / Output Range FCF0 - FCFF used by Standard Bus Mastering IDE Hard Disk Controller It seems that this do not cause big problems because I can work with the laptop, but I would like to solve the problem. Does anybody know how to fix this issue? Best wishes Fernando |

It's always risky doing OS upgrades on laptops, unless the upgrade is
supplied from the manufacturer of the machine - was yours? That machine is very much minimum spec for ME anyhow - unless you've installed more RAM (4.0GB, 233MHz Pentium processor,32MB, 13.3 TFT 1024x768, Windows 95) My advice would be to reboot to Safe Mode Open Device Manager there, Remove ALL instances of duplicated devices - including both the Intel and Std IDE controllers Remove ALL 'Other Devices' - if present Reboot to Normal Mode - Windows will reinstall required drivers (and probably want to reboot again), hopefully solving your problem.

Hi Noel,
Thank you for your time. As you can guess, the upgrade is original from Microsoft, not from IBM; and yes, you are right, the laptop is very much minimum for Me, although with a "128MB SO DIMM SDRAM Memory" plus the original 32MB, it works good enough to do basic things (Office, Internet Explorer, HotSync with Palm, Scanning and Printing. Obviously no games). Reviewing some white papers and upgrades I found a file to fix a similar problem with Win98. Some details a Filename: w98sfdi [v1.04] Readme.txt: IBM ThinkPad; January 28, 2000 Windows 98/98SE Supplement Diskette Version 1.04 This diskette provides registry patches, etc., etc., (Fix)Registry Patches for installing Windows 98. These registry patches include the following: (Fix-1)Fix for enumerating Intel 82371AB(PIIX4) correctly. This registry patch fixes an error in Device Manager after installing Windows 98 in APM mode. PIIX4 is enumerated by both PnP BIOS and Windows 98. Installation Guide: 1-1. Boot the system. 1-2. Insert the Windows 98 Supplement File Diskette into diskette drive. 1-3. Click Start, then click Run. This will open the "Run" window. 1-4. Type "A:\PIXX4\APM2APM\APM2APM.reg" and click the OK button. This display the following window: Registry Editor - Are you sure you want to add the information A:\PIXX4\apm2apm\apm2apm.reg to the registry ? 1-5. Click the Yes button. A successful window message is displayed. 1-6. Click the OK button. There is a Note: For Windows 95 OSR2 users, do the following steps BEFORE upgrading to Windows 98/98SE. Once the patch is installed, start the Windows 98/98SE upgrade process. Questions: Are Win98 and WinMe very different in this regards? Could this patch work for WinMe, even if WinMe is already installed? I did not find any similar patch for WinMe. Do you know any? or Do you think the workaround you tell me MUST work? Regards Fernando |
