I have been having a problem configuring a PCI card in my NT computer.  This
is a very real problem for me and any help is appreciated.

My computer is:    Intel PII 400mhz
                               ASUS MB - P2B-S (scsi on mb)
                               256mb
                               ATI Xpert 98 8mb AGP Graphics card
                               HDs - WD 9.1 SCSI UW
                               IBM 4.2 SCSI UW
                               Add-on cards:    WaveCenter Digital/Optical
Sound Card
                                                            Soundblaster
AWE64
                                                            Miro DC30+
Audio/Video Capture Card

Programs that use the card will crash - but not necessarily right away.
Sometimes it works great for a short while.  All software and drivers are
checking out OK.  All drivers have been reinstalled etc.  Pinnacle says that
it's a hardware configuration problem.  When the program crashes, the NT
Task Manager can no longer close the program - so it dies and sits on the
desk top - motionless and disruptive.  Obviously, the card is useless after
that point.

Under Multimedia|Devices, the only intended appearance of the card is found
under video codec - and the desired codec is functioning properly.  As this
is a specialized card, it is not a standard video or audio card and Pinnacle
has not designed it to appear as either an audio or video card.

Event Viewer gives me the following message on the crash:
    DC30 device not found - 0x0001.

Any ideas?
