    If the device manager does not see it it will not work. Check your device manager for problems.

    yea, like blu said, it sounds like it needs a driver installed- did you right click on it and see what the properties showed- or does it show up at all?

    Put the Acer in the microwave, turn it on high, and set the timer for 5 minutes.

    Should fix the problem.

    perhaps osx does not have drivers for that card? go back to windows or put in the other card.

    Thread closed...this is against the EULA, against our forum rules, and is illegal to do. Go install Windows, cause we aren't going to help.
