4. Click on the "Interrupt Request/IRQ" to check for used Interrupts. (Note: you may have to scroll the windows to see all the Interrupts.)
5. Click on the "Input/output I/O" to check for used IO Addresses. (Note: you may have to scroll the windows to see all the addresses.)
6. Click on the "Direct Memory Address" to check for used DMA's. (Note: you may have to scroll the windows to see all the DMA's.)
