Will system restore allow me to restore to condition just before i
installed
the card? Or will I have to restore to factory condition? I bought the
card, calbe and software on ebay and the item description said it was
compatible with Vista. I didn't receive any error messages while I was
installing the stuff, and afterwards it said that installation was
successful. But when I went to plug my camera into the firewire cable, my
PC
wouldn't recognize that there was another device attached. Then I looked
in
my device manager to see if the new drivers were there, and everything was
gone. Thanks again for your help!
Had you not mentioned eBay, I would have suggested that you simply return
the product (but, that's not so simple with eBay, is it?).
Not knowing any of the details about the card you purchased, I'd suggest
that you visit the manufacturer's web site and obtain the latest Vista
drivers available. Often, the CD that comes with a given product has
obsolete drivers/software on it.
If, after visiting the manufacturer's web site, you discover that what you
purchased is not supported in Vista, you can then pursue a refund from the
eBay seller based on misrepresentation.
