- Choose Control Panel under the main window or group, open up the icon for
- ports and make sure that under the settings you have the address 03E8
- entered as the base port address. Also make sure that the Interrupt request
- is set for 4. Initially both of these options may be set to "default".
- When I've had problems in the past this has seemed to clear them up.
