ABSTRACT:
A method and system for managing resources required by peripheral devices present within a computer system, the resources selected from a group of resources required for audio, video, pointing device, input, output, memory, and modem devices. A nominal selection of resources is initially associated with a peripheral device present within the computer system. Next, a minimal amount of resources required by the peripheral device to function normally within the computer system is determined, in response to associating the nominal selection of resources with the peripheral device. Finally, the computer system is automatically reconfigured, in response to user input, such that the peripheral device functions normally within the computer system utilizing a minimal amount of resources without inadvertently utilizing resources not required by the peripheral device during a particular operation of the peripheral device, thereby providing relief to a resource constrained computer system, wherein a multitude of peripheral devices function. Thereafter, a particular operation of the peripheral device is initiated, and the peripheral device operates in association with utilization of minimal resources required by the peripheral device to function normally within said computer system.
