sound card shot?

I recently reformatted my hard drive. After doing so I reinstalled the drivers for the sound card (audigy2 zs) and get no sound. I clicked on the creative icon for the settings and it tells me that the device can not be found. I looked for help on the creative web site and was told to re install the card (which I did). Tried reformatting again still nothing... it wont recognice the card. I have installed this card and others before and never ran into this problem. I am running windows xp, pentium 4 2.53 ghz, radeon 9800 pro, 1gb ddr ram. What else should I try to get it running again?

 

try switching PCI slots and make sure its properly secured onto the slot itself

 

Does the card show up in Device Manager?

 

I looked in device manager and there is one call creative audigy audio processor... I assume that is it. I will try a different pci slot.

 

Ok I put it in a different pci slot and now it works. Thanks for the replys!
