This is usually caused by a resource conflict with another device. 

* Windows 3.1x *
----------------
Under Windows 3.1, you will need to know what else is in your system.  The 
best way to tell is to look at each board individually and write down the 
resources it is using.  (Do not rely on software utilities to do this for 
you - most cannot detect all resource usage.)  Then, look at the resource 
"map" you've made, and look for potential conflicts (boards using the same 
resources.)

* Windows 95 *
--------------
The conflict is probably either with another Plug'n'Play device, or with an 
unregistered legacy device.

Under Windows 95, the Device Manager will only show you conflicts with 
registered devices while you are in Normal Mode.  

If Windows does not boot properly, go into Safe Mode to check the devices.  
(Do this by hitting the F5 key when you see "Starting Windows 95" displayed 
on the screen, just before the clouds pop up.)  

Go into the Device Manager and check the Tropez Plus PnP Audio Hardware for 
a conflict.  (Remember that no conflict information is available at all when 
you are in Safe Mode, so you will have to write down what resources each of 
the Tropez Plus devices are using and check them against other devices in the 
system.)  

To save time, try taking the card's Audio driver out of Automatic Settings, 
switching to "Basic Configuration 1" and changing the IRQ.  Then restart and 
see if that cleared up the problem.  If not, then keep looking.
