installing graphics card please help

Hi, i came across this post on the site dated apr 13th 2007
"installing graphics card please help"
"Hi, I have an Ibm computer with the intel 82845g/gl/gv graphics controller ( onboard) I was given a Radeon 9200 graphics card . I downloaded Everest and it shows that I can support AGP ( I also have the small agp slot ) My problem is everywhere I go it tells me to delete the drivers etc from the previous graphics card and remove it prior to installing . ermm this is an onboard graphics card and I have nothing to remove . I am afraid of deleting the drivers etc as well for the onboard card .. please can someone help me I really dont know what to do . I already went to bios and the only card it shows is the onboard intel . even though I have installed the new card . The computer did not even give me the "new hardware" prompt (( I am on a different computer right now ))"
I have the same problem, and was wondering if it was resolved, or if anyone can help me?
My system is dell insipron 530, and the card i'm trying to install is nvidia N275GTX.
Thank you.

Late reply. But I can understand why you did not get any replies. It's hard to understand.

Assuming you plugged the monitor into the right card (the N275GTX). You may have to specify in the BIOS to NOT use the onboard card, but the PCI Express card.
Then, yes, you can uninstall the onboard card's drivers, look for the intel or dell drivers. If you cannot find it, look for it under device manager, you should see it there and can uninstall it there.

Then if still no luck, make sure you have the correct drivers and the latest drivers for that card. Those that come in the box with the card is not the latest. Download the latest from nVidias website.
If you run that, it will install, even if the old drivers are still on the system.

The other possibility may be power. I'm not familiar with the new cards, but it may require 2 power plugs, and your PSU may only have one.

I hope I understood your problem correctly, and I wish you luck.
