Butch:
I think this is what Steve is suggesting.
I remember trying something like this on a Windows 7 laptop I was using for
a while, and ran into issues when taking the approach, but I'm not sure that
I recall specifics.
Will try this suggestion when I get the time to work with things again.

That makes sense, I wasn't following to close and I don't have any of that
software. Can he set the 590 as default card if that is what he nneeds and
jaws to use internal card. He probably already tried all of this stuff.
