System Locking: Readjusting the Video Capture Card’s Memory Address
If your PCI video capture card installed correctly, yet your system locks up when attempting to access video
applications, there may be a Plug and Play memory overlap between your capture card and an existing video
card with a S3/968 chip set (Diamond Stealth 64 PCI, etc.). Determine whether your system has such a card
installed. If it does, follow these steps to alleviate the problem.
1. Click Windows 95 Start.
2. Point to Settings and click Control Panel.
3. Click the System icon.
4. Click the “Device Manager” tab.
5. Double-click Sound, video and game controllers.
6. Double-click U.S. Robotics Video Capture to bring up the “U.S. Robotics Video Capture” window.
7. Click Resources.
8. Uncheck the “Use Automatic Settings” box and double-click Memory Range.
9. In the box marked “Value”, change the address to 84000000-84000FFF. This range works for a wide
variety of configurations. If this range is not free or conflicts with another device, increase the original
memory range by 4 or decrease it by 8. (Remember: Add or subtract in hexadecimal!)
Example: 80000000-80000FFF (original) increased by 4 hex = 84000000-84000FFF
80000000-80000FFF (original) decreased by 8 hex = 78000000-78000FFF
