I have an Elsa Gladiac 511 32mb PCI card. Before I installed it I used the built in graphics adapter. Since I have begun to use my Elsa, I cannot use direct 3D because when I set the hardware acceleration to any level, the computer crashes when in a game. Both graphics cards sharre the same IRQ, which I know can cause problems. Could someone help me change the IRQ or something? Thanx
