speaking of videocards

[Ganzo]

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?

Uninstall the previous video card drivers?

[Ganzo]

yes, even tho previous was part of mobo

[Martrae]

Did you turn it off in the bios?

[Ganzo]

yes

[10sun]

Does this happen in Safe Mode?

[Ganzo]

no it works in safemode so it is a driver issue, i just can't figure what this driver is conflicting with

[Evermore]

does it have it's own IRQ or is it sharing it with something?

[Tossica]

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.

[Ganzo]

did what you said Tos, same result

it's own irq

[Evermore]

does dell make drivers for this card?
