PMC-GPIB fails NI-488.2 Diagnostics after Each Re-boot of Computer

The PMC-GPIB fails the NI-488.2 Troubleshooting Utility software and GPIB tests as shown in the first image.  The drivers were installed, and then the PMC card was attached to the processor card and everything worked fine (i.e. our application as well as the Troubleshooting Utility).  After shutting down the system and re-booting the GPIB card would no longer communicate and the NI-488.2 diagnostics fail..  The Windows device manager indicates the a working GPIB device.  I have found that the only way to "fix" this problem is to delete the GPIB device from the WIndows device manager prior to shutting down the computer.  Upon re-boot the GPIB device is redetected and drivers re-installed.  The PMC-GPIB will continue to work correctly with both our application and the NI-488.2 Troubleshooting Utility untill the computer is re-booted.  To get it working again the GPIB device has to be deleted from the WIndws device manager and the computer re-booted.  The second and third images show our hardware and software configurations.  I have searched through the forums and help files and have not found a solution for this problem.
