Hey Joseph,
Did you turn off plug-n-play capabilities in the computer's bios ?? That
did it for me, and I currently have the same card working like a charm
=). I think that might be it, cuz the combonation of the dos utilities
disk and the pnp in bios being turned off finally fixed the same problem
when I had it months ago. And believe me.. I was struggling for weeks
also. Good Luck!!
