ok skuzzy i think i know whats up.
i read other post related to irq's
i have moved sound and usb cards without removing the drivers.so i think i need to remove all drivers from the cards and reinstall them.
and i saw your not supposed to put anything in slot 1,right where my sound card is.
im learning way too much about pc's.
thnks,
larry

You hit the nail on the head. What happened when you moved the sound card, is it started sharing an IRQ with your network card, and USB adapter. This is a bad combination. Garantees disco-mania operations.
Sounds cards must be on thier own IRQ.

I wish Microsoft would let Windows complain about things like that.

well i changed thiings but still having conflicts. all i can think to do is pull everything and see if i can start from scratch.
here's what it looks like now:

also i have a problem with the dar bar being black and plane radar icons. all else in radar and game looks great.

That looks pretty good. Better than before. You probably have a bunch of dead drivers laying around though. It's tough to correct this type of problem. If you removed the driver for the device, before you physically moved it to another slot, you should be fine.

The graphics problem is solved by updating the video card driver. Need at least Catalyst 4.3 or later.
