If you have IE 5 installed be sure to download the latest drivers from http://www.diamondmm.com The latest driver is designed to fix the problem you describe. I had the same problem. Just bought the card, and naturally there wasn't anything on the box about being sure to download and install the latest driver if you running IE5. Hope this helps. Mark Leonard F.
