Hope the new card works for you. A few posts back, I noted "Creative Labs classifies that model as "end of service life". Reading the fine print in that, could be 'abandoned'.", so maybe Win Vista was the last fully compatible OS to that model.
A real shame that older but still good device cards are no longer useful with newer OS versions. But still great with other OS types, such as Linux. If you know it was working well before, maybe you can recoup some expense by listing it for sale.
Don't be too upset about that shipping price, very few eBay sellers inflate the shipping costs. Bad business!
As to Win 7 updates, go to the MS update site and check. If a problem with updates not installing, maybe a quick fix.. and you will get a bucket load of updates!
F@H.. to solve mankind's maladies.. in our lifetimes!
