Paul, have you tried to set resource in BIOS manually instead PnP? You might
already answered your question, there is conflict, and for some reason, the
conflict won't go under PnP. The only thing you didn't try is turn off PnP in
BIOS.
In my past exp, win95 is not true PnP OS, you will have to set resource
yourself in many situations. Win98 has improved PnP a lot, but still, win98
couldn't handle all PnP devices and properly config them. DX7 and games have
nothing to do with PnP.
