A. The easiest way to view resource usage by devices is to use the built in WINMSD.EXE utility supplied with Windows NT:
Start the WINMSD.EXE utility (Start - Run - winmsd)
Click on the resources tab
You can then view any of the following:
- IRQ
- I/O Port
- DMA
- Memory
- Devices
By clicking the appropriate buttonWhen finished click OK to close WINMSD
You could also use the winmsdp.exe utility that is supplied with the resource kit. The command
winmsdp /i
will output the IRQ usage information to the file msdrpt.txt.
