Need more computer help from the gurus. I spent the better part of last night and this morning trying to install a video card into the wife's computer. The card is this one

And the computer is a Dell Inspiron 530 quad core running Vista. The problem is the computer will not recognize the card after installing. I searched the web and it said to try installing the updated Nvidia drivers but when I tried that the drivers would not install because the hardware is not recognized. I also uninstalled the card, restarting, and then re-installing. I did this a few times but the computer never brought up the "Found New Hardware Wizard" window. What are some other things I can do to try to get the computer to recognize the new hardware?
I really appreciate any help you can give....I'm running on 3 hours of sleep and I'm at my wits end.
