Xp saying there is a secondary GFX card - please help
I am installing an AGP x1650 pro 512mb card but it does nnot work. It
displays in 640 x 480 and keeps saying there is not a driver or there is a problem withb the hardware. I have installed the laters drivers, the ones on the CD, reinstalled them and took them off. I have disable the card in device manager but still problems. It shows an AGP card and a PCI card in the device manager. It calls the AGP one (secondary). I have no PCI or PCI-E card (or PCI-E slot). Whats happend? TIA Adebisi |

you have a sound card ?
sometimes that interferes with the video driver installation. Even though that problem is usually with NVIDIA. So you might have to pull your sound card out of your PC. Then install the video card drivers (software). Do you have a network card in slot 1 ? next to AGP slot ? you might have to move what ever is in the PCI slot next to the agp slot over one. Look in your mainboard manual for PCI slots that share the irq with the AGP, and try not to put anything in that slot. hope this helps, ** no fate ** dracman Tomb Raider: Shotgun City http://www.smokeypoint.com/tomb.htm http://www.smokeypoint.com/My_PC.htm Zebby (the machete) NE Huntress / Aja Nightstalker cat (bite,prowl) http://armory.worldofwarcraft.com/character-sheet.xml?r=Zul'jin&n=Zebby Marksmanship solo PVE 16/28/10 -------------------------------- Aliase Hume Rogue http://armory.worldofwarcraft.com/character-sheet.xml?r=Zul'jin&n=Aliase Subtlety solo PVE 5/15/34 WoW ingame pictures in a smoke free environment: http://www.smokeypoint.com/if_airport/telaar.html http://www.smokeypoint.com/if_airport/IF_airport.htm http://www.smokeypoint.org/wow/worldofwarcraft1.html ==================== "Simon Adebisi" wrote in message ups.com...

I was having the exact same problem. The card was a "Built by ATI". I
called tech support and they told me that they had a bad batch of pci-e to agp bridge chips. I sent the card back to the vender that I got it from and got the same card except it is a VisionTek. Every thing is working great now. "Simon Adebisi" wrote in message ups.com... I am installing an AGP x1650 pro 512mb card but it does nnot work.

TIA Adebisi Is this a new build or was something installed previously? If you have on board graphics they may need to be turned off in BIOS. Check BIOS settings and make sure it's set to boot AGP. Check that you have the latest chipset drivers for your M/B and if a newer BIOS is available consider that too. The AGP should show up as primary and your secondary display should show up as a PCI card even though it's not physically another card. AIWs show up as 3 cards. |

I had a similar thing happen to me in Vista. Turns out it was trying to use
my TV out as the primary video connection, so I disabled it and had no more problems -- Iyotake |
