Hi all, new guy here.

Im using Vista Home Premium. To cut a long story short (involving SP2, sound issues, STOP 0x00000124 BSOD's etc) , I have just purchased an Auzentech X-Fi Prelude 7.1

However, when I remove my Creative X-Fi & drop the Prelude into my ONE & ONLY PCI slot, Vista just refuses to recognize that theres any card there.

Its not appearing in device manager at all.

Put the Creative back in, Vista detects it ok.

I can see a green LED light up on the Auzentech when its slotted, so its getting power.

Anyone have any ideas? How can I get Vista to see the Auzentech?

Im presuming this brand new Auzentech isnt faulty.
