puter, w98 may assign a different irq when you boot. Do NOT use the
slot next to the agp slot which I assume contains your matrox card.
Or, your bios may allow you to force the irq. It is ok for the modem
to share a irq. But nothing should share with the vid card. The
puzzling thing is that it used to work ok. Unless you installed some
hardware just before the problem started. Good luck.
