I would get a different card. On the microsoft website
they have a list of manufacturers cards that are compatible
with XP, could be the one you have is not. Sorry I dont have the link, but a
little searching at microsoft .com should show the results.

Thanks, I'll check the microsoft site. I was using this card in an Win98
machine until last week, and initially had the same shutdown problem.
Fortunately, I found a setting in the bios that I could change and it solved
the problem. I was hoping there may be a solution similar for this machine.

Thanks again

Maureen
