Issues with onboard video card and AGP video card

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.

With the card in the AGP slot the device manager does not detect the on board card. I have tried disabling the onboard card, shutting the computer down, and the installing the card in the AGP slot. Yet it still fails.

I'm sure you did it already but... have you installed the latest DirectX? Can you run dxdiag and run the video tests?

You are correct in that the integrated video unit disappears automatically and completely when you plug an AGP card.

Now, what you actually need to figure out is the correct setup of that AGP card - possibly including installation of the AGP drivers for the chipset you have there.

I have installed the AGP driver from the mobo installation disc and downloaded the latest nvidia drivers for the card itself.

can't you take the agp card out again...........then boot up.......uninstall the drivers for the onboard. then uninstall the onboard hardware in device manager, and disable the beast. (right click--disable)

remove any recently installed nvidia drivers in add/remove programmes

reboot in safe mode with the new card installed and run driver cleanner to remove the last traces of the onboard drivers. and any nvidia grapphics drivers remnants.



then reboot and install the new card drivers and reboot to complete installation.

Any luck yet? Can you get the video tests in dxdiag to work?
