Re: XP Pro upgrade asking for nVidia AGP filter

Using Device Manager, and setting the "show hidden devices" option from the
view menu, you can see the NVIDIA nForce AGP Bus Filter under
"Non-Plug and Play drivers".
The driver file is C:\Windows\System32\drivers\nv_agp.sys.

Right-click on the driver file and select delete.

I've got a couple PCs I need to upgrade to XP Pro, but I get an error
during the install process that I have an incompatible nVidia AGP
filter installed and I need to update it. Only problem is that these
computers have INTEL graphics, not nVidia. I have updated the Intel
graphics driver and it doesn't help.

I don't see anything in the add/remove programs about nVidia. These
are both HP Pavilion PCs. I know the latest one I tried to work on is
a Pavilion 532W. I have a 100% legit copy of the XP Pro install CD, so
I know that isn't the problem.

Any suggestions? How do I get it to perform the upgrade? I'm upgrading
from XP Home. I have also verified that the only video is the on-board
Intel chipset.
