If you don't run any old DOS programs, it's probably safe to delete those
before you install the new sound card, also. -Dave<!-- ~MESSAGE_AFTER~ -->

You will need to disable the on board sound on the BIOS or by a
jumper.
Boot to windows and then remove any Software from the Control
Panel/Add Remove Programs list and then ALL entries under the Sound
Video Games controller section.
Then shutdown and switch off and insert card and re-boot and supply
drivers.
Note if it's a BIOS disable you usually have to disable
AC97
Midi Port
AND
Game port
