So you didn't answer me just because I used abbreviations? I didn't know
there were still websites that required full unabbreviated words and
sentences. I thought I was on internet, no writing a letter. And if you
knew that it was my first time here you wouldve understood that I didn't
know any rules such as unabbreviated words and could've told me instead of
completely ignoring me.

I didn't answer you because I know nothing about the board. (Does it
stand alone? Does it plug into a mother board?) Google would have told
me, but you could have too. The rest is just a matter of manners and
the social norms expected here.

That's why I suggested documenting this to "da boss", if you need to
prove that you've made a good college try.

But we tried!

Most of us don't -- I know I certainly wasn't trying to be condescending
or rude in my response, and I'm sorry if it came across that way. This
is USENET, though, so expect some unsolicited rudeness from time to time
-- it comes with the territory. I try to take it as an opportunity to
be nice in the face of rudeness -- sometimes I even succeed.

One often needs multiple tries to get the right answer -- one of the
things one learns from newsgroups is how ambiguous any written language
really is.

After you ask your boss for documents, search the manufacturer's web
site (I should have thought of this before...). Most manufacturers put
all that sort of data up on their sites, so if Richard's suggestion
hasn't lead you to it a good swing through the mfgr. site may well get
you all the documents that should have come with the board.

(Note that some manufactures aren't good about this -- they either want
to hold their IP tightly, or they aren't good at documenting what they
sell. But _most_ companies that are serious about selling this sort of
thing will work hard to get you the data you need, whether you have
their board or not.)

If it has sample code it may be fairly easy to adapt it to Windows 7.

At least easier than starting from a blank sheet.

Getting bent out of shape when someone's wise grandfather tries to help
you out won't earn you points anywhere.

You may be on a web portal, but this is USENET.

And, if you look at your keyboard, you will note that there are over 100
keys there, to help you spell each word out completely. Moreover, there
is no limit to the amount of text you can type in before you hit "send".
Thus, the only motivation to use abbreviations is for your own
convenience, at the expense of those from whom you wish to solicit free
advise.

Tell me -- when you're at a picnic, do you walk up to the guy at the
grill, kick him in the shins and demand a burger? Or do you at least
smile at him when you hold out your plate?
