Well, I get past one problem and up spurts another... As I said in my previous post, here's the hardware of my new box:

Abit BE6-II v2.0 Motherboard
Pentium III 800mhz
256mb pc100 sdram
IBM Deskstar 75gxp 45gb ultra-dma 100 HD
Elsa Gladiac 32mb vid card
3.5 inch Mitsumi Floppy Drive
HP 9150i CD-RW Drive
Kingston Ethernet Card

The problem I'm having is I simply cannot get a sound card to work. I tried my new card first - an SB Live mp3+ - and not only does it have the same IRQ as my Network Controller but if I leave it in, after I set it all up, Windows finds it, etc., everytime I start Windows it prompts with the "Restart to Complete Installation".

So I'm thinking okay, maybe it's just the card. No biggie. I try my old Sound Blaster 16 PnP card and the same thing happened.

Anybody with a BE6-II v2.0 mobo who's having/had the same problems???
