Why do i keep getting an error message saying that Creative software cant detect a product and that installation of my X-Fi software has to stop? I got the right driver from the site for the right OS, but it isnt working, and windows doesnt seem to be detecting it either.
 
By 'windows' do you mean XP? (Both XP and Vista are windows OS).

Anyways, off the bat sounds like a hardware problem, esppecially if niether OS recognizes the card. If you havent, pull the card and reseat. Does the on-board audio work?

edit: are you installing in admin mode?
 
I put Vista in the title. Im talking about vista here, and I'm aware both are 'windows'.
 
Is onboard sound disabled? Is it detected by the BIOS (if you can read that screen as it passes)? When you say it's not detected by Windows, I'm assuming it's not shown in vice manager, where you could manually install the drivers?
 
Yea, onboard sound is and has been disabled. It isnt in Device managers so i dont know what the deal is. I'm starting to think it might be a defective PCI Slot, although i dont know why it would be
