I can't use my OKI printer and the speakers at the same time,
I have to repoot each time to change over, something about resort conflict,
I use the printer on LP1 it does not have USB as its about 3 years old and
works well,

You should always state which OS and version you are using.
Win95/98/SE/ME? It makes a big difference in trying to solve problems.

Are the speakers USB, or do they connect direct to your sound card?

hello, thank you for reply, the speakers connect direct to the cound card, and my system is ME, not very good with the new fangled computer things in my day it was oil lamps and candles but keep trying, hope this helps to make things clearer, George

Welcome, George! http://www.PCGuide.com/ubb/biggrin.gif

It's probably not the speakers themselves that are causing the problem,
but rather the program that you are using to play music, etc.

If your system has a limited amount of memory, which is what is usually meant by
"resource conflict", you may just not be able to do both things at the same time.

It can depend on a lot of things:

• How many programs are running at the time
• How many programs are running every time you start up

Is your system one you built yourself, or store-bought?

PS - Candles and oil lamps still have their place. http://www.PCGuide.com/ubb/wink.gif
