Looks like the safest bet is to go with Geovision. Thanks for the help guys!

Hello All, Asked advice recently on how to make a DVR card work with Vista that I had already purchased......I take it since there were 30 odd views of my post with no responses that nobody wants to offer up any words of wisdom? I've decided at this point that I am not going to waste any more time on this particular card and am sending it back. Anybody have any advice on a 16 cam DVR card that will definitely work with MS Windows Vista??????? Of course I am hoping to keep costs to a minimum, so please keep that in mind as well. Thanks in advance!!!!!! For reference here is my earlier post:

Hi all. New to the forum. Desperate for some help! I have a Intel Core Duo machine running Vista that I purchased to become a surveillance DVR machine in addition to being a desktop PC. It has a 512MB Nvidia card with dual monitor support. I also have it hooked up to two monitors. It has 2 GB Ram. Purchased a "DiGiCam" DVR card Model # 2769H............ Installed the DVR card and software and have had nothing but problems. DVR software loads but the GUI is incomplete (buttons missing etc.). I can see the camera input but the software is useless. Then when the software is closed, Vista is basically stuck at or near 100% cpu usage for some unknown reason. When I open task manager, it appears that task manager itself is the one hogging the resources. At this point all that can be done is a restart. BTW memory resources seem fine ----30%. Really don't know what the heck to do at this point. The Tech Support guy at Central Alarm Systems Inc. (24-7cctvsecuritycameras dot com) told me that they have one of these DVR cards running on a Vista machine in their lab that isn't having any issues. He also advised me to switch PCI slots that the card was in. Did this. No change. Any advice? PLEASE!!!!!
