I kept getting the same error message "no nvidia hardware" after I 
replaced a defective Asus GeForce FX5700 with an Asus GeForce FX5600 
AGP card and tried to install the drivers.


I ended up deleting all Asus and Nvidia software (including the driver 
software in Win2k Add/Remove programs) and all video cards (including 
hidden ones) in Add/Remove Hardware. Then I had to use the drivers from 
a different Asus driver CDROM before I could get things sorted out. Not 
sure if this was a problem with the first nvidia driver set I tried or 
if it was a windows problem. I suspect that the error message was one 
of those cryptic ones written for one problem that resulted when 
another problem had a similar effect software wise.

Figured it out.  The 9X driver I had (whql) didn't support the 5200.  The 
new (non-whql) do.  Stupid of me.

[H] PCI NVidia card

I have a computer with a GeForce 5200 PCI card in it (an onboard i810 
video) - when I run the NVidia drivers, it tells me that there is no NVidia 
hardware in the system.  Anyone ever see this before?
