Answer» You might want to read this twice for the errors Im getting are very...Unusual.
Anyway, I just got a ATI 9600XT and I know my computer has an AGP slot. My computer currently has a integrated videocard, NVIDIA GEFORCE 4 integrated GPU.
When I went to add/remove programs I uninstalled "NVIDIA DRIVERS", then restarted. After restarting things were in 800x600 on 16bit colors, I went into display PROPERTIES and found I could turn it as high as 1600x1200 and 32 colors. Obviously, the drivers did NOT uninstall.
So I tried puting the AGP card in anyway, to see if it would override the drivers. From my experience I learned that if a motherboard detects a AGP card it will automatically start sending "monitor feed" to the AGP card, thus to get display the monitor must be connected to the AGP card.
However this did not work. I suppose the integrated card and/or its drivers is overiding this function. WIth the AGP card in I get no display whether the monitor is plugged into the computer or the AGP card. So I took out the AGP card so I could get display again.
Everytime I TRY uninstalling the drivers it just restarts and sets itself to 800x600 16 bits colors. Im thinking its re-installing itself everytime, which sounds quite supid.
Anyway Im asking for somones help and guidance for this. Somone advised elsewhere that I go into BIOS and disable "integrated GPU", I went into BIOS and see no OPTION related to that.
Any assuring help is greatly greatly appreciated!! and thx for reading.

1. You have integrated video AND an AGP slot? What kind of computer (or motherboard) is it?
2. Only 1 AGP slot (or card or integrated) is ALLOWED. PCI can have more than one.
3. BIOS is confused. Is there a jumper to reset the BIOS? you can try to install the agp card and plug you moniter into the other video card and check to see if the new card has the drivers it needs to and that the computer is setup to use two video cards. after you get the new card working you can disable the old one then use the new card. try this hope it helps
