Solve : Add new hardware wizard help?

Answer»

Gateway GM5474 Media PC
Vista Home PREMIUM 32 bit

I messed up while attempting to install a new dvb card. The found new hardware wizard detected the new hardware and I started following the prompts I cannot remember at what point I was at but at one of the screens I accidentally ticked on the message Do Not Show This Again For This Device. The wizard disappeared and I could not finish the install. I tried REMOVING the card and rebooting then reinstalling the card and rebooting but the computer will no longer detect the card and OPEN the wizard. What can I do? I need help.
go to START start menu | Control Panel | System and Maintenance | System | Device Manager
look for a Device with a yellow ! on it, right click on that device and click on Update Driver, or you can click Remove and then reboot.Thanks but I had already checked the device manager and the device installation never got that far. Its not listed at all. Did you try Add Hardware from Control Panel?Yes I did with no luck. I did finally get the new hardware wizard to recognize it though.
I took it out and tried an install on an older computer with XP. The installation was flawless. At this point I new the card was good. so I reinstalled it in the new computer and vista picked it up. I then completed the install. I don't know but I suspect the prior 3 or 4 times that I must not of had a good seat in the pci slot?

Thanks again for the helpI'm glad, it worked
