Hi all. I was having problems with my MSI KT4V / XP2000 based computer
(verrrry slow running and constant lockups) running WinXP. I did a repair
install in XP and updated whatever I could and it's running much better now
except for the video card is not detected in Device Manager. I've tried
installing several different drivers (NVidia card) and some do not detect
it, some do, but it still does not show up. Trying a hardware detect does
not find it, nor does NVidia show up on the manual install list for video
adapters. A different NVidia card does not show up either. Right now I'm
running a generic VGA driver. Video adapter properties shows <unavailable>
for chip type, memory size, etc. when I right click on the desktop and
choose properties -> adapter. Bios is set for AGP and both cards tried have
been AGP. Could it be the motherboard? I'm not running the latest BIOS.
Perhaps I should update it? Any suggestions?
Thanks,
WW
