:confused: I hope someone can help me. I just installed a new 64 mb video card in a PCI slot on my computer. (dosen't have an AGP) anyway the instructions said to use my guide that came with my computer to disable the built in video card (8mb) in the BIOS well my manual does not even mention the BIOS and The new card is not working correctly(Fuzzy graphics, and incorrectly sized) How can I fix this problem???? :) :) Thank You

When your system first boots up and enters the POST, there will be a line that says something similar to:

Press XX to enter Setup.

That "XX" is usually Del or F1.

If the screen flashes by very quickly, press the pause key to freeze the screen, so you can locate the correct key stroke combination, and choose enter to continue the POST.

If you can't see the screen, (which can be the case for some OEM systems like a Compaq) press F10 right after the computer first starts up, and choose not to save any changes in the BIOS.

Once in the BIOS, locate your integrated display adapter and disable it. Hit F10, afterwards, and this time ... save the changes.
