Video card for compaq presario sr5030nx

There's an AGP slot on the motherboard. Why doesn't the Nvidia GeForce fx 5200 work?

did you disable the on board graphics in the bios?

 

[cooksmtn]

I uninstalled it, as per some other instructions I received. I did notice that disable was another option

 

[cooksmtn]

I disabled it, installed an older version driver (56.72), and still nothing.

 

[computernugget]

thats wierd, but your computer does start up normally though right? no beeping or nothing

Yes, it starts normally, but Windows doesn't recognize the new hardware, as it does with most stuff. I used the installation CD that came with the card, but when I click 'install' I get an error message of 'unsupported' action. Most other drivers I've tried downloading, I get a message that the driver may not have installed properly. Others say they don't support my hardware. I purchased the card to resolve some issues with the imbedded driver (blue screen saying change video adapter) that were causing shut downs, and unable to start situations. I don't need any kind of great video card, as I do just daily computer stuff, not gaming. If anybody can recommend a card that will work for me, I'll just pass this one along to someone who has the time and patience to deal with it.
