I can't use my Sblive value card with my new MSI 815E Pro. I've tried disabling the audio and moving the card around the slots, but to no avail. Is there any known compatibility issues? I only have a network card and scsi controller card in my pci slots...should I take them out and then try the sblive? I can't even load windows when my sblive is in so I can't figure out what it may be conflicting with. Please help.

Wont load windows, can you be more specific.I used to get a nasty windows protection error on boot up since my Promise ultra 66 and Sb16 emulator where fighting over the same dma allotment. Changing the Sb16 settings to share dma with the printer port solved that issue. There is no issue with the Sblive and the Msi 6337. I have built over 20 machines with this board and Sblive and they all worked fine. When you do your win install do your driver install in this order , Intel chipset inf then reboot, Vid card drivers reboot, Network card then reboot,SBlive then reboot then change settings to share with ltp port. then scsi or pci storage controller or tv tuner or mpeg decoder or firewire modem ect. also let the Award bios do the plug and play since it does a better job than windows does.
