PLEASE HELP/// I bought and install a new video card on my Desktop and is not detecting it.?

I have a Think Centre Desktop from IBM and the card I purchased is a AGP Nvidia 256MB.



I have tried everything , uninstalling the drivers for the one that is part of the motherboard, disabling it on the divice manager and BIOS also when i try to install the drivers it says that it could not find any compatible divice. Please help me!.|||Hi Mate,

Unless you can tell us the model of your IBM its kinda hard to help you out ... but here goes



By the sounds of it your still getting a graphics display so I'm going to go on a limb here as say that your machine has on board graphics . I suggest you on powering up your machine ..... Push the delete button on the screen that shows you your installed memory / drives to enter your bios setting screen.



Look in your bios setting for a menu to disable on board graphics and enable the agp port then save and exit the bios.



On restarting your machine it should detect the new hardware and request the driver CD but after the drivers are installed and your machine is up and running it would pay to go to nvidias web site and down load the latest drivers for your card ... as the drivers on most CD`s are not current to date.



But if your still having trouble , go to IBMs web site ... and look for on line support ... some times depending on the day you can talk to a on line customer support officer for free



Hope this helps ya out
