uninstall it it in safe mode and search the net for a updated driver.

Its obviously a driver issue. Beause when you boot in save mode only the basic drivers are loaded.

Ok here are what im using..

I have a HP pavillion running windows vista home .

the card im trying to install is a SYBA PCI Multi I/O Controller SD-PCI-2S...

When i remove the card from the PCI slot and boot..the computer will boot normally...
If I put the card back into the computer, it wont boot in regular mode, i get bluescreen.. but it will boot into safe mode..

In both cases, the card isnt showing up in device manager under com cards..

Now when i first put the card into the system and install the driver in the box, it seemed to be working, but it was assigned to com port 8 and 9 and my loader for CW only had selections for up to com 6...

Should I remove the card, then boot the PC and remove the drivers... or should i just boot into safe mode and remove the driver??

Thanks for the help guys..

Remove the card and uninstall driver, reboot and install driver first, off comput and install card and boot.

On XP and Vista : install driver first and card.

If that not work do a search on site of card or forum on Yahoo or Google
