I would try reinstalling the card with new drivers from the manufacturers website. It sounds like a driver problem to me.

Well if you can't find them on the manuf. website, try www.driverguide.com. They seem to have a lot of legacy drivers.

You need to get the Chipset driver, this tells the OS which INF files to load. But need more info to help.
