I purchased an old computer for my 5 year old princess and installed fitted an ATI Radeon 9550 128 Mb graphics card in the AGP slot. In the BIOS there is no option in the video menu for the AGP bus. How do I get this card to run. Will flashing the BIOS solve my problem? How do I go about flashing the BIOS?

What's your motherboard in the first place? Also, have you checked the manual?

Dissable the onboard video and connect the monitor to your Radeon 9550.
