ehm.. You have to be more specific dude..

-What's your idea of what is causing the problem?
-The symptoms of the problem e.g. no boot up, drivers not being used etc.

Give us more details :)

Your description could be anything:
-Maybe you've forgot to connect the mediator to the amiga? :-D

MAybe he should stop shouting at it... Or maybe he should call up Red and get a Prometheus board instead.

Where is your drivers located on your hard drive?
Which directories?

Make sure you have the correct drivers from Elbox

my VooDoo 3/3000 wasn't the easiest thing to setup at first..

Elbox drivers (http://elbox.com/downloads_mediator.html)

Check if your drivers are in the same place as descriped there..
Also..
Use the pciinfo program provided on the mediator cd to see if the card is at place at all?

-EDIT-
A working Picasso 96 installation would also be a good thing to have ;-)

I think you should send a email to support@elbox.com describing your symptoms.  You haven't really given enough information here for anyone to help.

@tolishot

Changing to the Voodoo is a matter of installing the correct video driver in Picasso96.  I'd suggest removing the existing Picasso96 installation and restarting from scratch following the documentation provided on the MM CD.  It's a little tricky for the Voodoo since it's not directly supported by the Picasso96 installation program.  

I haven't yet setup my sound card, but it should be a matter of installing the driver, and AHI.
