I read and tryed the quick fix in the back of the book but it didint work. anyone else have a clue why it does this and maybe how to fix it. or should just call a computer person to install this card. cause its driving me crazy :smileyindifferent: thanks for any info :D

System Model: Dimension 2300
BIOS Version: Mitac Corp A02
Capacity: 256 MB
Intel(R) 82845G Graphics Controller
if you need mroe tell me i try to find it. x_X thanks- You are going to have to disable your onboard graphics for that card to work. Some people say to do it in bios, others say to do it in device manager. You have onboard graphics and you are putting another graphic card in it also. Your PC is confused. :) Make sure you have the right driver for it.
- I have the same problem last night and finally figured out.
1. I tried to disable onboard video in BIOS, but there are two choices, onboard or automatic. I selected automatic. then reboot, it did not work.
2. I then connected monitor to onboard video output, disable the integrated display adaptor from device manager and do not restart system now.
3. Install Geforce fx 5200 Video driver from CD, turn off computer.
4. reconnect monitor to fx 5200 Video output, start system, it works. TagandKiss
