I recently installed a new ATI video card. After installation I received an error message that my 3com network card had to be reconfigured. While looking for the driver for the network card, the pc could not find it. I then downloaded the drivers from my other pc. After attempting to load the driver again I still cannot get the network card to work. Thanks in advance for any help.
 
Sounds like the video card is grabbing the resources previously used by your network card. What type of network card is it? ISA or PCI? Whichever it is you may have to "force" the card to use a different IRQ by assigning one to it in the BIOS. If it's an ISA card then you'll probably have to use the 3COM setup disk to alter the card's firmware to that which you've just reset in the BIOS.
