Graphic Card IRQ - need stand alone IRQ

[talltad]

I've got XP Pro Sp1, with a Standard PC HAL, IRQ Steering
Disabled, I've done all that can be done in the BIOS. XP
is still allocating IRQ resources over the BIOS
settings. I've checked the Biosinfo.inf file and ACPI is
forcing IRQ's. I thought Standard PC HAL is supposed to
eliminate ACPI control of resources??? I CANNOT for the
life of me figure out how to manually manage my IRQ
resources without ACPI interference even with a STANDARD
PC HAL installation. All I want is My Graphic card to
have it's own IRQ, it currently shares it with 4 other
objects.

Someone please help me.

I can run Msinfo just fine, although it does'nt allow me
to configure anything, it just displays information.
Thanks for the extra resource though. Still same problem.

Hi, most cards run quite happily sharing IRQ's. however if other PCI cards
are causing a conflict you could try them in different slots. Your
motherboard's manual should indicate which ones share with what....
