Hi,

I have a problem with Windows NT 4.0 SP6.
Is there any way to change the interrupts (registry???).

On my new Asus P5GD2 installation of NT4 was impossible.
(but I could manage it ...see below if interested)

All devices (VGA, VideoCaptureCard, LAN) want to use IRQ 10!
This is silly cause IRQ 9,11,12 is free!!!!
(according NT-Diagnostics)

I cannot change IRQ-Settings in BIOS (only to "reserved")
and then it won't boot at all....

-LAN is onboard
-PCI-Express Slot0: : NVDIA GFORCE6600
-PCI Slot1: -
-PCI Slot2: VideoCaptureCard
-PCI Slot3: -
-PCIE Slot1: -
-PCIE Slot2: -


Any idea how to solve?















Trickey Workaround for NT4 install
************************************
1. Install NT4 with very basic options to an old PC
2. Install all drivers needed for the new PC (of course they will not work;-)
3. Just put the Harddisk in the new PC and boot

OR what I did
- New Partition on the new PC (Dual Boot)
- Add the Entry in boot.ini
under [operating systems]
multi(0)disk(0)rdisk(0)partition(2)\WINNT="Mircosoft Windows NT Workstation 4.0"
- Copy via NFS/SMB Share the whole Disk from the oldPC to the new Partition....(you should start that old system with knoppix or similar...)

*WOW* that works and tricked the NT4-Crash-Installer....

Disable APIC in the BIOS (usually requires reinstall/repair of Windows)
