Hi JR,
If it's possible, you might be able to do so in your BIOS.
You cannot assign the IRQ numbers through Windows,
not even through the registry by any means I'm aware of.

| Jimmy,
| Thanks for replying again.
|
| I have already updated all all of my drivers(video card,
| MOBO BIOS, directx etc.) and this still freezed my system.
| Actually I disabled both deviced (onboard 1394 & PCI dial-
| up modem) and it worked.
| I'm planning to transfer my PCI modem to another slot but
| I was thinking that eventually I have to use this slot,
| in case the rest of my PCI slot are filled. So I'm still
| considering assgning a unique IRQ to my AGP slot, if its
| possible.
| Thank you again.
