There won't be any conflicts...what I mean is the card must have it's
own IRQ.  In BIOS, you have to set it so the card is assigned it's own
IRQ, which in my case is 11.  You may have done this, but if I don't do
it, then I can use my video card and get a display, but when I want to
use the powerdesk and Rainbow Runner capture, it won't work.  Most
BIOS's have a setting to assign an IRQ, but on one board I used, I had
to assign everything manually.

I'd still recommend a complete re-install, probably I take it for
granted with a tape and CDR, but it gets rid of all the crap and useless
stuff I never use.  Re-installing over the top leaves half of it behind
and may change files required by installed hardware or software.
