It's not about the SBLive not working with AH. The problem I was pointing out, which was and is parculiar to my system, is my system was out of interrupts for the PCI bus, which was going to force the sharing of interrupts with other devices.
If your SBLive card is sharing an interrupt with another active device, you most likely will experience lockups, with any software that uses the card and the shared device at the same time.
If I chose not to use the ATI Rage MAXX card, I could have used the SBLive card, as the MAXX video card requires 2 interrupts.
I could not use the SBLive card with any game that also is a multi-player Internet game.
It has absolutely nothing to do with AH.
Is your SBLive card sharing an interrupt with any other device?
Check this by going to "Start"->"Settings"->"Control Panel".
Open the "System" folder, then select the "Device Manager" tab.
For each peripheral you have installed in your computer, click on the "+" sign in the device list, select the device and press the "Properties" button.
Then select the "Resources" tab and scroll through the list of resources until you find the "Interrupt" and make note of the number.
Do this for each peripheral plugged into your PCI/USB/AGP/ISA buses. If any of them are using the same interrupt as the SBLive card, you will need to either re-arrange the cars in the PCI bus based on the motherboard sharing arrangement of interrupts.
Windows will merrily allow interrupts to be shared between the buses and not complain about any conflicts.
Hope this helps.
