Have you tried this device in another system just to make sure it is workig? I only ask because the fact that it isn't even being reconized. In device mngr do you have any yellow triangles? If so have you tried updating those drivers? Also if we knew all of your system specs we might beable to suggest some other things like updating your chipset drivers, bios ect.First things first.. Please fill in your system specs so we know what we're dealing with...Help us help you... without your specs, were just shooting in the dark...

Did you run the setup program in Vista compatability mode? ...the latest OS supported is Vista Home Basic.
Also if we knew all of your system specs we might be able to suggest some other things like updating your chipset drivers, bios ect.
