Default windows not finding sound card at boot

We've been having this problem recently - windows isn't finding our
sound card on cold boot. It finds it when we reboot. The sound card is a
tbs montego. There seemed to be a conflict between files for the sound
card driver and norton systemworks. I had to reinstall msvcrt.dll from
the norton cd in order to get the computer to boot at all. (This file is
also a part of the sound card driver files.)

Would appreciate any info on how to resolve this.

Thanks.

I should add that on cold boot windows finds the sound card but acts
like it was never installed and brings up install windows which I
cancel. When I reboot it acts like the card is installed.
