Cannot detect GPIB - PCI card with new vista PC

I moved my NI PCI-GPIB card to a new Gateway PC. It has one PCI, one E-PCI and PCI-16X. I installed this card in the PCI slot. I installed the NI 488.2 (latest version for windows Vista). I cannot detect this card. What am I doing wrong?

Thanks

Hi Dooley

 

When you boot your system do you see the HW wizard?  If so what is the result.  Can you see the device in Windows Device Manager?  Is it listed as an NI GPIB card,  or is it listed as an unknown device.  In it is unknown, ie with a yellow explanation mark, you should be able to try and update drivers which will force windows to look for drivers again. 

 

The first step is getting Windows to see the device.
