Disable ACPI in both the BIOS and Windows. In Windows go to Device Manager (if using 98/ME) then System and double click Advanced Configuration and Power Interface BIOS and change the driver to Plug and Play Bios. If using Windows 2000 double click Computer in Device Manager and change the setting from ACPI to Standard Computer. Reboot and Windows will redetect the Hardware and reallocate the IRQ's for each device. Also worth doing is to Manually Assign IRQ 5 in the BIOS to ISA/Legacy as this can cause problems on some boards.
