Possible dumb question

Is there a way to look at the IRQ settings in Windows? Or do I have to check during boot up?

OK, I found it already. If you go to device manager and view by connection, you can see all of the device IRQ's.

Now for the next question. My Santa Cruz, SATA controller, and USB host controller are all using IRQ 11. I have moved the Santa Cruz to three different slots and it is always 11. I have been having numerous BSOD due to the Santa Cruz driver. Could this be part of the problem?
 
Do you have a motherboard with ACPI enabled? If so, most of your devices will be sharing IRQ 11. It's perfectly normal.
 
If the Santa Cruz is causing BSODs because it's sharing an IRQ it's broken, shared IRQs are part of the PCI spec.
