Choose Control Panel under the main window or group, open up the icon for
ports and make sure that under the settings you have the address 03E8
entered as the base port address.  Also make sure that the Interrupt request
is set for 4.  Initially both of these options may be set to "default".
When I've had problems in the past this has seemed to clear them up.

Hope this helps,
