What exactly is giving you troubles? Any error messages from the device manager post-install? Errors during driver install? We need a bit more info before we can provide any useful assistance.

Never heard of ConRoe MB. The 865G chipset is well before Vista release. Kinda doubt Vista/Windows 7 onboard audio drivers are available. If you know the exact onboard audio chipset you might find drivers doing an online search. But if Windows 7 doesn't have a driver for the onboard sound, the sound chip may be obscure as far as any OS after XP.

I use a cheap sound card like this on a Vista 64 system I have. I would think the Vista 64 drivers work on Win 7, but not sure.

any drivers that work with vista work with windows 7 (bar creative - forget about that hopeless company)

extract the files and manually install them by pointing device manager to the folder you extracted etc - cleaner install too.

Agreed. THis is about the only way the driver install will work without buying a new card.

Well, just use the new C-media drivers for 64-bit Windows7; they're only a week or so old though...

Really, any C-media chipset will work with their driver install, so you should be good on that front.
