Havent diabled on board graphics in bios, didn't realise I needed to, as I said, previous card worked fine.

Thanks for feedback, I shall try some of the ideas tomorrow

EDIT: Card is in slot fine, checked that first, also XP fails after boot screen, just goes black for long long time

If the screen goes black and then goes into standbye it could be that the resolution of the card is to high for the monitor.

How old is your monitor ?

Just pointing out Windows Xp will not try and use a driver for a different make in graphics card. IE it doesn't see an nvidia connected it wont use nvidia drivers. It will try and look for others like ATI. Your the one going on about "idiot's" not me. I just pointed out something which is general common knowledge so please dont try getting abusive

I had the same problem as bifta, had a Nvidia 4200 and upgraded to an ATI radion, compleatly fooked my machine up!! in the end i had to reinstall windows XP

. As you still have the old card onboard (id sold mine) you should be able to pull the new one out, boot up into windows and get rid of them old drivers!!! good luck

I think Detonator Destroyer "should" get rid of them if you boot in safe mode without having to stick the old card back in.

Had a Geforce 4 uninstalled drivers. unplugged old card. Inserted new Raden 9600 pro. Booted up installed drivers presto all worked fine

Nemesis · 29-04-2004, 13:30

ok, now that's all wonderful, some have had problems, some haven't ...

HOW DOES THIS HELP Trentsteel !!

Under certain circumstances, Windows XP can misidentify a device. We have two labs with video capture cards, one has the Pinnacle DV500 and the other has the Matrox RT2500. Unless the drivers are installed manually, Windows XP always installs the Pinnacle drivers (which don't work on the Matrox cards).
