/PCILOCK available under XP?
I'm running WIN XP home, Athlon 1100, 512MB RAM. I have the following cards installed: AGP GeForce 2 MX PCI Soundblaster 5. 1 PCI 10/100 NIC PCI 4 port USB MS PS2 Keyboard with USB ports, to which I have connected an Intellieye USB Mouse, and an external USB ZIP 100.
I'm running WIN XP home, Athlon 1100, 512MB RAM. I have the following cards installed:
AGP GeForce 2 MX
PCI Soundblaster 5.1
PCI 10/100 NIC
PCI 4 port USB
MS PS2 Keyboard with USB ports, to which I have connected an Intellieye USB Mouse, and an external USB ZIP 100.
Panasonic KX-P7100 printer attached to PCI USB card.
This keyboard/port is connected to the host USB port 2.
First Host USB port has a cable modem attached.
I would like to reassign IRQs so that the graphics card and the modem don't share anything - XP doles out both IRQ sharing and USB Bandwidth sharing as it sees fit.
Is it possible to use the PCILOCK function in the BOOT.INI of XP? if so, do I just add the line at the start? turning off ACPI is a major pain - I'd prefer it if XP could take card of the rest of the stuff, if I could force it to assign a couple of unique IRQs for the AGP card and the Modem.

Why do you want to reassign? Its perfectly normal that they are on the same IRQ on a ACPI compliant PC running XP. And it works fine, too.
