Usually there is a setting in your bios where you select either PCI or AGP for your graphics card. My guess would be that is where your problem is. usually it's under advanced or chipset settings. What motherboard are you using? | |

After you unistalled the old drivers... what drivers did you install?
It would really help if you let us know what your 3dmark 03 score is  | |
