Don't use the software or drivers that came with it, more headaches than it's worth. Let windows update install the drivers. If it's installed correctly (shows as 'VideoMate SAA***X AvStream Video Capture' in device manager) use Windows Media Center.

Is there an unknown device listed. If there is right click it and 'Update Driver Software' - slect the automatic option.
If there's no unknown device listed and it doesn't appear under 'Sound, video and game controllers' then you have a hardware problem. Shutdown and reseat the card then boot up. I noticed with mine the card tends to get pulled out of it's slot. A little bend of the backplate (outwards) should fix that.
