No thermal paste this time...
I had one previously installed on this computer, actually the same one. I took it out with the hope of returning it because the Mic port didn't ever work. Since I no longer use my mic, I decided to just put it back in as I still had it sitting around. I just did that now, pushed the card all the way in, then turned on the computer. Nothing happened, no "found new hardware" or anything like that. Since I took the card out the last time( 5 or 6 months ago), I have reinstalled Vista, so it should recognize the new hardware. I went into control panel, hardware, and checked that out under the Sound tab, and it didnt recognize the Xfi card as being in the computer.
Any ideas as to what the problem might be and fixes? Im gonna try a restart, but because I doubt that will do anything, I decided to come to bf2s first.
