If it is the Wacom that is conflicting, why does it only affect the
cardwriter and the modem? When I try to use the modem...it does
nothing. When I use the cardwriter, it says it is in conflict with the
modem and I should reconfigure the modem. The modem uses IRQ 11 and
COM2 but I don't see the Wacom or the card reader on on the IRQS. IRQ 3
& 14 are not listed so suppose they are not used. Only the modem will
not work.
