[very senior novice]

found in system configuration under problem devices: ACPI IRQ holder for PCI IR..

pnp device ID: ACPI\*pnpccof\00000003 Error code: 22


O.S. windows me
browser: IE 6


I do not know what ACPI IRQ holder for PCI IR is.....hopefully some one can tell me
(and anyone else that doesn't know ) just what this is......it is not listed as a problem in
Device manager.....I found it when I checked system configuration to see if there were any
'problem device's' on my computer

Hello – Welcome to – [Geeks to Go]

I do not know what ACPI IRQ holder for PCI IR is

[ACPI]
(Advanced Configuration and Power Interface) A power management specification developed by Intel, Toshiba and Microsoft that makes hardware status information available to the operating system. ACPI enables a PC to turn its peripherals on and off for improved power management especially in portables.

[IRQ]
(Interrupt ReQuest) A hardware interrupt on a PC. It is a way for a peripheral device to signal the CPU that it is ready to send or receive. Sixteen lines (0-15) accept interrupts from devices such as a mouse or network adapter. IRQs used to be a major headache with PCs until Plug & Play and PCI cards became the norm. Plug & Play assigns IRQs automatically, and PCI cards share IRQs.

[PCI]
(Peripheral Component Interconnect) An expansion bus commonly used in PCs, Macintoshes and workstations. It was designed primarily by Intel and first appeared on PCs in late 1993. PCI provides a high-speed data path between the CPU and peripheral devices (video, disk, network, etc.). There are typically three or four PCI slots on the motherboard. In a Pentium PC, there is generally a mix of PCI and ISA slots or PCI and EISA slots.

Ok – That takes care of the Terminology Portion – Now what does it mean – Well – apparently you have added a device to your PC – that is not working – Or you would not have said -

it is not listed as a problem in Device manager.....I found it when I checked system configuration to see if there were any problem device's' on my computer

Why else would you be looking for – [Problem Devices] - This is an – [Error Code] – with no – [Device Recognition] – and it looks as if it is giving an – [IRQ] – But your – [Viewing Area] – needed to be adjusted/expanded – [It looks/appears as if the error indication was truncated] –

Perhaps you can tell me what was installed recently or what device you are experiencing a problem with –

Off hand I would take a guess that it is either

(1) – A USB Device
(2) – IEEE 1394 Device
_______________________________________________________________________

So - Lets interview your PC –

(1) – What Type – [Laptop] – [Desktop] [Tower]
(2) – What is Manufacturer
(3) – What is Model Number
(4) – How old is PC
(5) – Operating System & Service Pack
(6) How many USB Ports
(7) List USB Devices – Including HUBS & USB Expansion / PCMCIA Cards
(8) List the same on IEEE 1394 Devices
(9) What device do you think is not working
