Solve : installing diamond video card on hp?

Answer»

I recently bought a diamond video card so i could use my tv as my monitor. I have been told it is easy to install but when i GOT it home it BECAME a little confusing as i SEE no place for the card to go. The card seems to be to long to fit into any spot and i admit i am not even sure what card i am no suppose to take out if any. Does any ONE by any chance want to talk me through it i would be very gratefull. I have an HP computer that is a little older. The card is a stealth s85 128 mb.Is the card for an AGP slot or a PCI slot? Did you verify, before you bought it, that you had the right type of card, based on what types of expansion slots your computer has?

What's the current video configuration for your computer? Onboard video or separate video card? If a card, what type (AGP, PCI, PCI Express) is it?

What the model number of your computer? How old is it? What OS are you using? If you download EVEREST V2.20 it will give you all the info on whats installed in your old ........ then you will know .http://www.softpedia.com/get/System/System-Info/Everest-Home-Edition.shtml
Sound like the card you purchased is a AGP card and your HP probably only has PCI slots ( which are a differant size.) .... But Everest should tell you what you have.
