On A PM ThinkPad models, some devices may report firmware resource
conflicts errors (yellow exclamation mark with code 29 error) in Device
Manager.
The auto-rebalance functionality in Windows 2000 for APM systems does
not work correctly for all devices and configurations.
On APM -supported ThinkPad machines, the user can remove the errors by
manually changing the resource settings for the device through the Device
Manager under Windows 2000.
All ThinkPad models
The set value for PCI IRQ holding under Windows 2000 cannot be modified
using the ThinkPad Configuration Utility. Even though this setting can be
modified to either IRQ 10 or 11, any changes do not carry over after
restarting the system.
Even though there's an option to set the PCI IRQ holder to 10 or 11 through
the ThinkPad Configuration Utility, Windows 2000 reset s this value to back
to 9 when system reboots each time. Changing the IRQ holder intentionally
is interpreted by the operating system as a meaningless operation.
No action required. The user does not need to change the PCI IRQ holder
other than the one the operating system sets automatically.
All ThinkPad 760 and 765 models with Mwave Audio and Telephony
functionality.
The user cannot enable the audio support on their computer using the
ThinkPad Configuration Utility (even though audio capability functions.)
This is design limitation of the ThinkPad Configuration Utility.
No action is required if your computer's audio device is functioning properly.
