might try this?
Code 10 Error means the operating system had a problem allocating resources for the Serial Device. The Error Code 10 can be corrected by manually assigning the resources. Follow the procedures below to correct the Code 10 Error.

1. Right click on "My Computer" (It should be on your desktop or in the Start menu)
2. Select Properties
3. Click Hardware
4. Click Device Manager. The Socket Serial Card should show in the "Ports (COM & LPT)" category. *If it has a "+" next to it, click it once so it becomes a "-" and the card should show right below it
5. Double-click on the description; this will open the cards properties
6. Click on "Resources"
7. Click "Set configuration manually". This should assign an I/O range. Make sure there are no conflicts reported in the "Conflicting device list". Your IRQ should show with a "?" over it
8. Double-click on "IRQ". This will come up with a value for you. Make sure it does not show a conflict and then click OK
9. Click OK to set these settings and YES to continue with changes. This should clear your code 10 error

*If the software you are going to be using with the serial card has specific resource requirements, please contact us and we will provide you with the required settings. You will know if this is the case if it does not work after you have set the resources manually.

If you know how to get into the BIOS on your machine (usually hitting the DEL key when booting but different on some machines), you can go into the BIOS and disable what you don't use such as the serial port. If you don't have any device like an external modem connected to your serial port, you can disable it and free up an IRQ. If you are using a USB printer, you can disable your parallel port. If you have installed a new sound card and there is an old sound card built into the motherboard, you can disable the old, built-in sound card to free up resources. If you try this approach, MAKE SURE that you only disable ONE device AT A TIME then boot up to see if that freed up an IRQ that your sound card will use.
