Christopher,
You may have to disable Plug and Play on the card, particularly if it is an
ISA card. Hopefully you should have received a disc with your card containing
a utility allowing you to disable PnP. You may have to run it from DOS (not a
Windows DOS prompt) for it to work.
Also, if it is ISA I think you may have to specify the IRQ when setting it up
(don't ask me how).
