Ok i bought a nvidia video card, i inserted it in the PCI slot in my computer it was fine i conected it to my moniter directly. It worked fine after that i installed the drivers from the cd. Then it restarted at start up it shows the windows XP home edition loading screen but it does not go to the next screen or will not display anything because can still hear sound! So right now i have my moniter connected to the orginal port. Also when i run DXdiag under diisplay the driver is still the old one and the hardware 2 i dunno if that is because my moniter is connected to the old port all i know is i need help badly anyone plz help

Try and siable the onboard graphics from bios, if it doesnt work you can turn them back on the same way.

Reboot your computer..

When the splash screen shows up ( the make of the PC Dell.HP etc) if its a custom build tap the "delete" key..

repeatedly click ..F1 or F2..you should enter your bios...

When and if you get there ..read the navigation intruction very carefully..

You should be able to find the "onboard VGA"

Yup tis how you do it, getting into bios is the easy bit, you will be presented with a menu and you navigate using the keyboard, the instructions run along the bottom. Search through the settings use your common sense here it will likely be under peripherals or something along that line. Do not change anyhting else in there look for the graphics settings and it should allow you to select to use PCI or onboard as the primary adapter you want to select PCI here. Be patient if you cant find it post back.
