Well, if you had a display card in a PCI slot before, just uninstall the drivers, and remove the card from your device manager. If it was an onboard video, check the manufacturer's website, there should be info there, if not call or contact their tech support.

You may also want to update you agp controller driver, or whatever it's called.

Good luck, Red.

If the bios has a field for onboard video memory try setting it to zero.

well to install an agp card just put it in the slot and boot(the slot for agp should be brown and above the pci), install driver and your done. to get rid of the onboard then just go into your system properties (though control panel) and get into your device manager, click on displays, right click on your onboard and do disable, it should ask to reboot, do it and you should be fine. be sure to install the new card before disabling the onboard, hope this helps, if u can disable in bios it is better but this will do it too

some boards with onboard vga won't need you do disable anything in the bios. sometimes you can simply install the agp card and having a card in the slot automatically disables the onboard vga, then you just install the drivers as normal

Though, from what it sounds like his doesn't. That was the case with my 900mhz compaq 4090..the geforce4 went in and was automatically designated as the main card.
