Vista not recongnizing new usb card
Just installed this card and when I turned the computer back on windows didnt alert me that it had found any new hardware. And when I looked in the device manager the new usb card is not listed in there.

What do I have to do?

Try another PCI slot first. Also, check during the BIOS POST and see if the card is detected by the BIOS PnP.

Trying the other slot was the ticket. But why did the upper slot not recongize any new hardware?
