I've been troubleshooting this thing since Thursday and have made no headway. I'm hoping someone out there will have an idea.

Here's the problem. I just upgraded from an SE440BX motherboard/PII-400 chip combo to a Gigabyte GA-7IXE4 motherboard/AMD Athlon 1ghz chip combo. Everything's working except the game port on the SB Live soundcard. Whenever it tries to install that, the system freezes.

Here's what i've done
-reinstalled windows
-installed every driver that came on the motherboard disc
-updated the PCI-ISA bridge driver
-moved the soundcard to every PCI slot available. None worked, but any slot other than PCI3 caused the modem (on ISA2) to stop responding.
-Moved the modem between ISA2 and ISA1. This produced no effect whatsoever.


here's the full system configuration:
Win98
Gigabyte GA-7IXE4 motherboard
AMD 1ghz Athlon Thunderbird chip
128mb ram
2 IDE HD's
SB Live value PCI sound on PCI3
Diamond Supra Express ISA modem on ISA2
Creative 3d Annihilator 2 video on AGP


i've exhausted everything I can think of to get this thing to work. Anyone have any ideas?
