[WriteLog] Byterunner Configuration Problems

I am setting up Writelog on a new Windows 2000 computer.  The box  already 
has two standard COM ports installed as COM1 and COM2.  I installed  my 
Byterunner 4 port Serial I/O PCI card.  The install seemed to go OK but  the new ports 
show up as COM5, COM6, COM7, COM8 in Device Manager.
 
When I go to the Setup Ports in WL, all I see , of course, is COM1 Thru  
COM4.  I can't seem to establish communications on the Byterunner  Card.  I tried 
using ports 3 and 4 thinking that maybe they map to COM5 and  COM6 some way 
but no luck.  In Device Manager, I tried setting the BIOS COM  Port Number to 
COM3 or COM4 but that didn't seem to help either.
 
Any suggestions?  I didn't seem to have this problem on my Windows 98  box.
