speaking of videocards

Postby Ganzo » Sat Dec 08, 2007 6:34 am

this is a issue that i been fighting with and can't get any info anywhere.

my friend got Dell Dimmention 3000, runs XT Home, board only has 3 pci slots, he wants stand alone video card.
got him this: http://www.tigerdirect.com/applications ... CatId=1603

now when i install it, it works untill i install drivers than xp will not run anything but black screen it it, yet still shows it in devices as running properly. got updated drivers, same issue. any ideas on what dell did to that PC that i can undo, and get those drivers to work?

Did you turn it off in the bios?
Inside each person lives two wolves. One is loyal, kind, respectful, humble and open to the mystery of life. The other is greedy, jealous, hateful, afraid and blind to the wonders of life. They are in battle for your spirit. The one who wins is the one you feed.

Boot in to safe mode and uninstall the current driver. Force a standard VGA driver in it's place and reboot.

Run the installer again.
