Okay I bought a newer video card for my comp which has an ASUS P4P8X motherboard in it. I decided to put the old graphics card, Geforce 4 ti 4200, into my brothers comp. His Motherboard is a Foxconn 661M03-G-6EL.
Half Life 2 ran on my computer with my mobo (does not have onboard video card) however even with the card in the AGP slot and the latest nvidia drivers his computer will not play HL 2 at all. It will load up and then state that default settings are required to run this game and you click yes and it set the appropriate settings and then you get prompted with the same message. Following that it says the computer has failed to meet the Directx hardware requirements of 7.0 but I graphics card is a Directx 8.0 card.
I have looked thru the BIOS which is Phoenix, and I cannot find an option to disable the onboard card in the BIOS. I also cannot find anything in the manual for his mobo in terms of switching a jumper.
If anyone can help that would be great cause at this point in time I am completely stumped.
