Next time you might try "Vista won't recognize your Firecard" and you might get more responses, since Windows has nothing to do with your NDS Lite.

There is at least one other thread regarding this issue. You might try searching the forum.

AFAIK, the Firecard is an poor clone of the G6Real/other fixed memory flashcarts.

The firecard has fixed memory and interfaces to the PC through a USB dongle.

Regardless of what you thought, either the USB dongle is malfunctioning or the Firecard is defective. There is a possibility that Vista needs a driver for the dongle.

The easiest way to check would be to put in someone's PC running XP and see if it's recognized.

Based on what I've seen, it's highly likely that the dongle or the Firecard is defective.
