You must shut off, uninstall and then disable any pointers to the onboard video. This must occur in your OS (Vista? XP?) and in your BIOS (CMOS). The 6200 might be a "TC" version which shares system memory, this also needs to be accommodated in the BIOS by AGP aperture or some other memory specific setting peculiar to Vaios. HTH. |
