Dell Computer Problem + DAQ1200 + RS232/4

[Funflyer]

I try to install NI HW in my new Dell GX240 (1,76GHz P4, 256MB)
NI-PCI-1200 Slot4, PCI-Bus:2,device:10,function:0 IRQ:19, DMA0,1,2
NI-PCI-232/4 Slot3, PCI-Bus:2,device:9,function:0, IRQ:18
SW: Labview 6.1 // Windoof 2000
Driver Version:
NI488 1.7
NI DAQ 6.9.2
NI IMAQ 2.5.2
NI Visa 2.6.0f7
NI Vis Server 1.0.0f4
NI Flex motion 5.1.5
NI Valuemotion 5.0.5
NI IVI Engine 1.83
Max 2.2.0


After first starting up ... driver install... etc... I can use MAX-Test
panel
to test the DAQ-1200 card... everything works... (also from Labview
itself...)
When I shutdown my computer and fire it up again, the MAX-Test panel
cannot
communicate with the DAQ card. Failure: on the spec. base address the
device does not answer... or so...

The interresti
ng is, that if I change in Bios the IRQ - I can only
change 9,10,11 with this computer .. and fire the computer up again
the DAQ card works... till I shutdown again...

any hints are very welcome...


Best regards,

"any hints .... welcome"

What OS?
Disable plug n play.
Disable/Enable "Scan for new devices" in MAX.
Try DAQ 1200 in different slots.

OS: I thought I wrote it : Windows 2000 SP2
T use different positions for the DAQ card is due to space available not
so easy, I need additional a 1409 framegrabber and a GPIB card...
To disable scan for new devices, how can I add other NI hardware and
test?
Plug and pray was disabled...
It looks like, that NI is not Dell friendly or ...
