IRQ's Yuck! There are a few ways to try to set the irq's to what you want. 1. Go into your bios and try to disable certain IRQ's, reboot and then re-enable the IRQ. THis may giggle things around a bit. 2. Remove all the PCI card, reset the system configuration data (should be an option in BIOS). Simply removing the battery won't do this as often PCI configuration is stored in EEPROM (a common misleading item). Then install one card at a time.
With the IDE falling on IRQ 4, it would seem she is using an add on PCI card? This can cause IRQ's to be eatten up. Normally cards will not take IRQ 14 or 15 (Some SCSI will) because they are normally IDE Controllers. However if she is like me, with 6 ide devices in my computer, an add on card is the only way.
