Oh my. Then that's definately your problem. Best method would be if there
are jumpers or dipswitches on the mobo. If none, disable it in the bios and
make sure if there is an entry for first video init, set it for pci/agp
rather than on-board. You must disable the onboard before you can use the
add-on.
Do you have the owner's manual for your mobo? If so, look in there and it
should tell you if there are jumpers and how to disable on-board video,
audio, ethernet, etc. If not, you can go to the manufacturer's web site and
probably find that info. Even if you have the jumpers or switches, you'll
need to know what to change.
