nVidia GeForce 4 -- 440 MX (Not Working)
I have just acquired a new video card, (seen in title above) and I can't get it to run on my computer. I am fairly sure I installed the proper driver, but when I restarted my computer there were no noticeable display changes. I went to the settings and there are still only two graphics modes (16 and 32 bit).

It seems that the system is still running off of the rather distasteful On-Board "video card" that came with the motherboard.

Anyone have any ideas on how I should go about making this thing work?

(p.s. i'm fairly hardware illiterate)

I couldnt find an integrated video option, but here's what was shown under "Integrated Peripherals" in the BIOS setuip.

----Integrated Peripherals----

OnBoard IDE :Both
IDE1 Conductor Cable :Auto
IDE2 Conductor Cable :Auto
OnBoard FDC :Auto
OnBoard Serial Port1 : Auto
OnBoard Serial Port2 :Auto
Serial Port2 Mode : Normal
OnBoard Parallel Port :Auto
Parallel Port Mode :ECP
Parallel Port IRQ :Auto
Parallel Port DMA :Auto
OnBoard MIDI Port :300
Midi Port IRQ :5
OnBoard Game Port :201
OnBoard AC'97 Audio :Auto
OnBoard Lan Chip :Enabled

----End Peripherals----

Whatever is shown after the Colon on each line is the part that you could change.

Well, what do you make of it?

what if you disabled the onboard game port?
or in windows go into the device manager and see if your geforce 4 is enabled

The computer is an AMD, but it's custom built so it doesnt have any of that... >.<

I guess i got a little further along...

Now when I plug my monitor cable into the video card it displays just a background image, but i can still plug it into my motherboard and it will display everything properly. One step further ahead? Have any ideas?

Also, I can run a game thats not supported by my previous video card, and then if I unplug the monitor cable from the motherboard and plug it into my card I can see the game ^^

It just seems like the card doesnt have full control of the video of the computer
