We assume that the analog video is onboard video ...........so here are the
steps to reverse the procedure.
open Control Panel and uninstall the new video drivers
open device manger and uninstall the new video card.
shut down and connect the monitor to the old connection.
restart and XP should recognize the old video and load the old drivers.
When you get your new card do exactly the same thing..uninstall old drivers
and card....shut down...install new card...restart.
XP will detect new card and New Hardware Wizard will come up ,you just need
to point the wizard to the CD drive where you have the CD with the new video
drivers that you received with the new card. You most likely also need to
enter the BIOS and disable onboard video...........
let us know
