The joystick port IO range in use by what device?
I would simply try the card in another slot......

If you don't use your Serial ports, or Parallel port, disable them in CMOS. Then see if that clears the conflict. If not, then try a different PCI slot. If that doesn't do the trick, try manually changing the I/O address if you can.

Do you have a floppy drive? If not, disable the FDD controller in CMOS as well. No use in reserving resources for things you will never have or use.
