The following error information is displayed upon boot up of Microsoft Windows NT if there is an I/O port conflict:
A system error has occurred
System error 2 has occurred
The system cannot find the file specified
If you receive an error 2, ERROR_FILE_NOT_FOUND, the redirector device name cannot be found. When this error occurs, the most likely cause is an I/O port-address conflict. To determine where the conflict is occurring, remove any extraneous devices and reconfigure the I/O port address to be compatible with the settings on the card.
