ISA RS232 serial port card (SIIG)

(OS: NT4.0 service pack 4)(Serial card - SIIG high IRQ) -> I installed a two port serial card (16550 uarts) to give myself two more ports. I set the card jumpers for (open resources) COM3/IRQ10 and COM4/IRQ11. After booting I looked at the event viewer and found two errors stating that my control registers were overlapping between 2 and 3 for the first error and 3 and 4 for the second error. No matter what changes I make (ie. changing IRQs, port setup in NT control panel, Jumpers on the board, cmos settings ...) I still get these two errors in the event viewer. Everything else seems to be fine. There are no messages of conficting IRQs and my modem(com2) and mouse(com1) work fine. Any suggestions!?
