- You may try the setting in the win.ini or system.ini (I can't remember which

- doing an auto-verification regarding your settings, although the driver
- can only be initialized once. That is why it installs fine the first time,
- but once it is loading during boot-up, when it autochecks for the new IRQ
- it simply isn't going to work as the driver is already installed into
- another IRQ.
-
- I'm not possitive this is the proper logic, but experimenting with the .INI
- file rather than playing with the device driver install is probably your
- best bet either way.
