RE: Trouble installing NIC...

[Jordan Melville <jordan vinyladdiction com>]

Another update..

Changed the IRQ to 12, base address of 300 and tried again, and it still 
locks up. I know it isn't a conflict problem as the box is pretty bare and 
I've checked to make sure this isn't an issue. I'm starting to think that 
maybe the driver itself is the problem (ie - corrupted or something)

How do I reinstall that portion of the install and try again?
