If you have a problem:

• Firstly, please make sure that you are using the current Elcard PCIBridge drivers and that these are installed on your PC.
• It is also worth checking that the operating system that you are using is supported by our drivers. (See our list of supported operating systems, please note that in NT4 you will require SP6)
