The information in this article applies to:

Microsoft Windows for Workgroups version 3.11

SYMPTOMS

When you run Windows for Workgroups version 3.11 on a Dell 100 mHz Pentium with a Madge Token Ring network card, an IBM Token Ring 16/4 network card, and an Sound Blaster card, the computer stops responding (hangs) after the sound card driver loads and the network is started.

CAUSE

This problem occurs when you Sound Blaster card is configured to use the same address as the Token Ring card. The default port address for the Token Ring card is A220.

RESOLUTION

Use a port address other than A220 for the Sound Blaster card.
