This should be done automatically with Vista. Check Control Panel and see what is within the multimedia. Your card may be muted.

if you have WINDOWS XP , go to START ,then go to ALL PROGRAMS , then go to accessories , then click SYSTEM TOOLS , then go to DISK DEFRAGMENTER , HOPE THIS HELPS AJ

Providing this card is compatible with your system you just open the side, take out the screw or clip remove the old card and install the new one, upon boot up insert the CD that came with the card. Or let Found new hardware wizard take over.Also it's handy to have another computer nearby to serial connect to so that you may view that screen.

You could have bad hardware.

Grab your owner's manual + from here:

the expansion drive will open if you can hang a fingernail or something thin in the top of the door and pull. It only takes a gentle pull.

This requires an svideo or composite output. You may have to buy a special adapter or card.
