    its a PCI card, and the only options it lets me select for onboard are to switch it between 512k and 1 meg

      OK, I googled your card & it came up as AGP, maybe they brought it out in 2 formats.
      It looks as though you also have onboard video, is this the case?

        Sorry Jeep, I have to leave for work 10 minutes ago  :(
        From what I can see it still looks like a bios setting problem. I'll check back later in the day to see if you've made any progress.

        I think I have a good idea. Im going to completely uninstall and remove both cards, disable onboard vga, then reboot and install new adapter and then try putting in the card.Because when i try to access the bios it only lets me do it through the old card and i cant change any settings

        thanks merlin.It didnt work though i just tried it, thats the first way i tried it though.Well im back to my old card again.Its weird though because when i follow all the instructions and boot PC, it hangs on the HP screen and wont allow me to access bios or start in safe mode.But when i put in old card along with new one the plug and play recognizes both.So i install the drivers for the new card but it still runs it through the old one.
