I have found an old pci Voodoo 2 12mb and i figure it will be better than the onboard 8mb shared Trident Blade on my parents MSI 6378(am I right to think this?).The problem is, i can't work out how to get the card to work.I am almost 100% sure that the card itself does work .The system is running windows xp pro and I have found drivers.However, when I install the drivers, the Voodoo2 does not list as a display adapter but goes under 'sound,video and game controllers'.I don't know if that is odd but the fact is, when i plug the monitor into the card i get no display.I haven't disabled the onboard graphics because i am afraid to in case i have no display to fall back on.In the bios it is set to pci for the primary display.
What can i do to get the card working?
i may have missed details so please ask anything if i have.
no matter how hard you try, you can't polish a turd. :]
