I have not reformatted my hard drive and really don't want to at this
time.  It was working fine for about  year so why it chose to quit working
is beyond me.

I don't see the second sc showing up unless I go in safe mode (after making
it fail).  There are not ! or X by any devices nor does there seem to be
any conflicts.    I have tried the removing the card and using the disks to
reinstall about 12 times it from the cards drivers.  It works fine then
after rebooting I get the error.  Then reboot into safe mode and sometimes
I see the two items, such as joystick, etc. but not every time.
