Default Re: Onboard Vga Adapter


The BIOS has switches to disable all onboard  components except VGA .
If I try to install a new video card  (gforce MX 440 SE)  XP will not find the hardware (maybe conflict with onboard VGA).
If I install the driver  (from the CD) it tells me that the driver is already installed (device manager still only shows the S3 graphics card)

the manual is silent about VGA

hello againis there a BIOS option to turn vga to either PCI or AGP - if there is this should be AGP

- by default its usually PCI, so it needs to change to AGP - try thisfailing this, what motherboard do you have - i will check it out for youregards
