If the card works without a problem until the machine is physically turned 
off and then restarted (a "cold boot"), this might indicate a Windows 9x 
PnP issue.

The problem is that sometimes one or more devices are resetting their 
configuration (IRQ, address) information when the system restarts. 

To fix this, it is necessary to stop Windows from re-allocating resources 
for these devices: 

1. Get the system working. 
2. Open the Device Manager. 
3. Select the device that is conflicting with your Pinn/Fiji. 
4. View the Resources and de-select "USE AUTOMATIC SETTINGS".
5. You may want to turn off Automatic Settings for the Pinn/Fiji itself, 
   as well.
