Hmm. That does sound possible. At present, just about everything is 
sitting on IRQ 11. Don't know about the card, I'll have to take a look....

Great. Prior to this, its only Win98 that has given me that sort of 
problem. Looks like the same driver.

Ok, Ill have another look at that and see what it says.

Hmm. I've picked up a copy of uttpfos2.exe, but attempting to install it 
says its not for the model I have. Didn't see any other OS/2 copy, so 
I'm not sure if its available in an OS/2 version for my machine. I did 
see someone else mention the DOS version, but I don't currently have any 
DOS support on the machine. Guess I'll have to look at that as a 
possibility.

Well, at least some of your suggestions give me possible avenues to 
explore. Thanks.
