AGP video card question

<< < (2/6) > >>

zelony:
You should make sure you have the most current BIOS for your motherboard.  Also, keep in mind that the AVGA is an old card based on old technology.  It is not uncommon to find older cards that simply will not work with a newer motherboard.

Good luck.

It's a full XP Pro installation, not TinyXP.  And I forgot to mention, upgrading my bios was the first thing I tried.  I was starting to think what zelony said (maybe this card just isn't compatible for whatever reason) but I saw a few posts in my searching of people using an ATI 9250 with this mobo with no problems.  :banghead:

Have you tried getting rid of the splash screen so you can at least see which driver(s) are failing to load? It might not even be the AVGA that's failing, but something conflicting with the AVGA.

ahofle:
Cool, never knew about that.  I'll try it and report back.
