Joystick Switchbox

I have an old CH Joystick Switchbox that we used on our old 98 computer. Now I have XP, and it doesn't seem to work properly. I have it connected to my gameport via soundcard. It is a 4-port ethernet switchbox. I think I need a driver to get it to work but I can't find one. I have the floppy disk but it is made for Win95/98. Here's what is the problem:
I have two 4 button gamepads. I plugged one into the switchbox and it read it fine. I installed it into the game controllers and everything was working. I plugged in a second controller and clicked on the Add button to add the second controller and got the following message: "The controller 4-button gamepad currently resides on port Aureal Vortex Game Port(my sound card gameport). Please remove it or assign the device to another port." And Now im stuck. Im not sure what to do. Thank you for any help in advance.
