First check your Device Manager for little yellow ? or !. If nothing looks like it has a problem, swap one of your other PCI boards into the one you think you are having trouble with. If all works fine, your MotherBoard BIOS only supports USB 1 and not USB2. Start your PC and coose DEL or F1 or whatever it says on the screen for Setup. Look at the top of the page and it will tell you who makes your BIOS and what version it is. Go to thier website and follow instructions to upgrade your BIOS. It also seems odd that it would mess with the video but PCs are funny animals. You may also need to install the manufactures Drivers before putting the card in. Also check Microsofts HCL list for cards it supports signed drivers for to see if your card is on the list, if it is not, get one that is.

Hope something here helps. I'll check in for feedback.

before I came back here. I was on the phone with a good friend who is a tech wizard and told him the story, but before he could offer any sage advice, I had already reinstalled the card in another slot, the second attempt today, and voila! It worked! Yeah, I shouldn't be surprised, but the way things have been going for me lately, I certainly didn't expect success. I was actually coming back to delete my post but, since you were kind enough to offer suggestions, I wanted to let you know I got it working and all is well.

Thanks again!

Swish, happy again, at least somewhat.
