Welcome to the world of Vista (lack of full functionality) older
hardware drivers.

Check E-machines web site (if the card was pre-installed by them),
otherwise, try the chipset (Sigmatel) maker.

FWIW Drivers are slowly becoming available for more older products.

Check the manufacturers support FAQ. Sometimes they give a Vista
driver update time table for "legacy" products.
