Hi. first off I usually use Macs and don't know my way around PCs
(yet). I bought a secondhand Dell Optiplex GX260 for my children to
play games on. Came with Windows XP Professional installed. Games
weren't good with the built-in graphics card so I bought an Nvidia
Geoforce FX5200 AGP card on eBay (choosing that one because as far as I
can see it is the only one which will fit the low-profile Optiplex.)
I'm having all sorts of trouble getting it to work. Tried to install
the drivers from the disk (before installing the new card) but I got a
message saying 'unable to locate drivers compatible with your current
hardware'. Trouble is that once I have installed the new card - so that
the current new hardware IS present - and reboot, I now longer get a
signal through to my monitor.
Disable the integrated video chip in the computer's BIOS. It's causing a conflict with the nVidia adapter.
